The development of relations between Saudi Arabia and Russia over the past five years
Keywords:
Saudi Arabia, Russia, United States, OPEC+, alignmentAbstract
In recent years, there has been evidence of a geopolitical reconfiguration of alliances in the Middle East, characterized by a relative withdrawal of the United States and a greater relevance of powers such as Russia and China. This is the case of Saudi Arabia, which,
despite being one of the main historical partners of the US in the region, has shown an alignment with Russia within OPEC+. Said rapprochement contravenes the interests of the United States, in a context of marked inflation, high tension in the energy markets and during a situation in which the rise in fuel prices would favor Russia’s capabilities in the conflict in Ukraine. Likewise, there are
factors that have led to a greater rapprochement between Russia and Saudi Arabia in the military and commercial fields, just as there are elements that have conditioned a cooling of relations between Saudi Arabia and the US.
