Saudi Arabia asks citizens in Ukraine to contact embassy, arrange immediate departure​

Saudi Arabia is requesting citizens in Ukraine to call the local embassy to “facilitate immediate departure” from the country, according to a statement from the embassy on social media.

It also asked all citizens to “postpone their travel” until further notice.

A number of countries in the Gulf, including Kuwait and the UAE, also called on their citizens to postpone any plans to visit Ukraine amid heightened tensions between Kyiv and Moscow.

White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters in Washington on Friday that an attack by the more than 100,000 Russian troops currently massed next to Ukraine “could occur any day now” and said Americans in Ukraine “should leave as soon as possible.”

A high-stakes call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden is expected on Saturday.

Russia, a main player in the escalation, also “optimized” its diplomatic staff numbers in Ukraine, fearing “provocations” by Kyiv or other party, a spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry said on Saturday.

Spokesperson Maria Zakharova did not say whether that meant a reduction in staff numbers but said the embassy and consulates in Ukraine continued to perform their key functions, according to reports.

Tensions have been mounting for weeks due to a Russian military buildup and surge of military activity that has fueled fears that Russia could attack Ukraine. Russia denies any such plans.

Every country should be telling their people to get out.

The Chinese government has not announced the withdrawal of overseas Chinese from Ukraine.
China's intelligence agencies are not fools. Don't worry, peace still hasn't left us.

Seems Chinese planning for Taiwan, in the meantime massive US build-up in Taiwan / South China sea. Some analyst predicts Taiwan and Ukraine strike will come at the same time...

No. If Taiwan does not declare independence, the PRC will not use force.

The PRC is confident of a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue and the acceptance of a complete Taiwan.
Taiwan's GDP in 2021 was 785 billion US dollars.

Most of these gulfy people who go to Ukraine are raging s*xpats, the only reason they go to Ukraine is because they want to f*** blond women, they plan their visits ahead so they will not ruin their schedule and leave that p***y alone just because some war might happen, especially when the chances of war are low.

What is the suprise? Another US proxy doing the inevitable. These Arab monarchies rely on US soldiers for their survival. You expect these kings to disobey American orders?

Are you envious or what that you can't afford a trip to Ukraine?

Anyway that is not the case. To begin with there are hardly any Saudi Arabians in Ukraine of all places. Those that reside are either students (male and female), military personal (KSA and Ukraine have had a close military relationship in recent years with a lot of TOT involved), businessmen or Saudi Arabians married to Ukrainians (a tiny minority for various reasons).

What is it about the Arab obsession on PDF and the inferiority complexes towards Arabs on PDF? The same Arabs (royals) that have kept Pakistan afloat economically for the past 50 years (if that can do it) and who help feed millions of Pakistani mouths by hiring Pakistanis. The same Arabs that helped finance your only real deterrent against India (nukes). The same Arabs who are the reason why you are not a Hindu today and indistinguishable from say a Indian Punjabi or Indian Gujarati.

Look at this map below.

Does that look weak? Arabs are the largest ethnic group in the entire world after the Han Chinese. Inhabiting the largest geography in the world. One of the most strategic areas on the planet right in the middle of planet. One of the richest as well. The land that is home to the oldest civilizations on the planet and which shaped the world more than any other region. Gave rise to the Abrahamic religions that 2/3 of the planet's population follow. Created some of the largest and most influential empires in human history. Larger and more influential than any other created by Muslim ethnic groups.

Anyway you might familiarize yourself with the ground realities, KSA-China ties are much more important for KSA than US-ties. China is the largest trade partner of KSA and China is directly involved in the Saudi Arabian ballistic missile program, Saudi Arabian nuclear program and local uranium mining. It's time to wake up!
