⚡️ Putin, Lukashenko agree on deployment of joint regional group of troops

⚡️ Lukashenko says Minsk was warned about impending strike on Belarus from territory of Ukraine through unofficial channels

🇺🇸 🇸🇦 US Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna are proposing new legislation to stop providing weapons to Saudi Arabia, in response to Riyadh’s decision to back OPEC+ cuts to oil production.

🗣 "The Saudi decision was a pointed blow to the US, but the US also has a way to respond: It can promptly pause the massive transfer of American warfare technology into the eager hands of the Saudis," Blumenthal, who serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Khanna said in a Sunday article for Politico.

▪️ They argued that what Washington perceives as Saudi Arabia’s support for Russia merits a "far-reaching review of the US-Saudi relationship."

▪️ Blumenthal and Khanna emphasized that Saudi Arabia largely depends on US defense assistance and will be forced to "come back to the table and negotiate with the U.S. in good faith" if Washington deprives Riyadh of arms supplies.
