Federation Council member Alexei Pushkov said that Russia did not undermine relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia. "The whole world knows that the black cat between the US and their closest ally did not run because of Russia, but because of the policy of the US itself. Yes, their deeds are quite bad in the Middle East if they see the specter of Russia everywhere, "the senator wrote in his microblogging Twitter. A spokesman for the US administration said earlier that Moscow, through arms supplies to the Saudis, had undermined relations between Washington and Riyadh. At the same time, Russia was accused of "giving several promises to the Iranian regime" for the supply of arms. According to the representative of the White House, Russia in such a way inflates the crisis, which undermines the US-Saudi relations, RIA Novosti reports.. The US is wary of the development of relations between Moscow and Riyadh. In October last year, King Salman paid an official visit to Moscow for the first time in the history of Russian-Saudi relations. As a result of the talks, an agreement was reached on the supply of Russian weapons, including anti-tank missile systems "Kornet-EM" and heavy flame systems TOS-1A "Buratino". President Donald Trump said that at the talks on March 20 with the Crown Prince Mohammed ibn Salman he will touch upon the Russian question. According to the president, it is necessary "to find common ways to force Russia to pay for its policy in the Middle East," reports The Hill with reference to a representative of the administration of the White House.
