Russian President Vladimir Putin is going to Saudi Arabia on 14 October. This is his first tour since 2007. On the second day of this, Putin will visit the UAE.
During this time he will meet King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman and will attend the inaugural session of the Russia-Saudi Economic Council.
According to media reports, agreements worth several billion dollars will be signed between the two countries.
Putin may be traveling to this country after ten years, but in the meantime, there was constant contact between the officials of the two countries.
This visit of Putin is taking place one year after the barbaric murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey. Crown Prince Mohammed bin-Salman has claimed responsibility for this murder. Saudi Arabia was criticized worldwide after the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi.
According to the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Moscow and Riyadh will sign 10 billion dollar agreements on this tour.
The RDIF chose Saudi Arabia to have its first foreign office.
RDIF chief Kirill Dimitradev had said on October 10, “They will talk on a range of issues, including agriculture, rail, fertilizer, and petrochemical sectors.”
According to the TAS News Agency, according to RDIF, Russia’s state-run railway company RZHD will also be involved in the tender process for the construction of several new train lines in Saudi Arabia.
In early October, RDIF and Saudi’s largest oil company Aramco jointly bought a 30 percent stake in Russia’s leading oil equipment manufacturer Novomate.
According to the news of Interfax, Dimitradev said that these deals are also included in the agreement on October 14.
Business newspaper Vedomosti quoted an undisclosed source as saying that there seems to be an OPEC + agreement on Putin’s agenda.
Saudi Arabia and Russia ranked second and third in the world in oil production, also agreed to expand OPEC + to control oil prices at the Osaka G20 summit last June.
On October 2, the Tass news agency quoted official reports that Russia’s revenue had crossed $ 100 billion with the deal.
Possible military purchase?
Following the drone strikes at Saudi leading oil installations in September last year, Putin said that Russia was ready to help Riyadh by selling the S-400 air defense system.
In June 2017, Russia announced that it had started sending arms and military equipment to Saudi Arabia, although it did not specify what kind of weapons.
Earlier, the two countries had agreed to supply the CoreNet-EM anti-tank missile system, the TOS-1A, the AGA-30 grenade launcher and the AK-102 Kalashnikov rifles.
However, Saudi Arabia has traditionally been buying weapons from NATO countries and it seems that its policy will not change much.
Tensions in the Middle East and anti-extremism campaigns will also be the top political agenda in Putin’s visit.
The Syrian crisis is the main issue of confrontation between the two countries as Saudi Arabia is a main supporter of the Bagh Syrian National Coalition and is against Russia’s ally President Bashar al-Assad.
Russia also wants to ease tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which, according to Putin, have to go from conflict to cooperation.
On the drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil installations, Putin said that he is against blaming Iran.
The issue of Yemen may also be discussed in this tour. Foreign Minister Lavrov recently said that “negotiation is the only way to solve the difficult situation in Yemen which, according to the United Nations, is facing humanitarian destruction”.
In recent years, there has been equal contact between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Putin has met King Salman twice in a few years. Once at the G20 summit in Turkey in 2015 and the distance bar in 2017 during the King’s visit to Moscow.
According to news agency RIA Novosti, the two often spoke on the phone, four times in 2017 and twice in 2018.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman officially visited Russia four times in 2015.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited Saudi Arabia in 2015 and 2017.

In a shocking development, YouTuber Praneeth Hanumanthu has become embroiled in controversy following his detention by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. Initially arrested for making offensive remarks during a podcast, Hanumanthu's predicament has escalated, resulting in further allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after he tested positive for cannabis consumption. The Context of the Detention The origins of Hanumanthu's difficulties can be linked to a podcast he hosted, which included a conversation that many considered highly unseemly. During this episode, he made inappropriate comments regarding the dynamics between a father and daughter, igniting outrage among viewers and critics alike. This incident quickly garnered the attention of both the public and law enforcement, prompting an investigation by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. The primary allegation centered around his remarks, which were deemed to have crossed the boundaries of acceptable discourse. This scenario raises broader inquiries about accountability and the duties of content creators, particularly in an era where online platforms can amplify messages to a large audience. As a public figure, Hanumanthu's statements carry substantial weight, and the backlash he has encountered signifies society's increasing intolerance towards harmful rhetoric. Charges Related to Substances Things took a turn for the worse for Hanumanthu when, following his arrest, authorities opted to perform a drug test. The results confirmed the presence of cannabis in his system, leading to additional allegations under the NDPS Act. This legislation is a strict law in India aimed at combating substance abuse and trafficking. By testing positive for drug use, Hanumanthu not only worsened his legal troubles but also further tarnished his reputation. The addition of drug-related charges initiates an important discourse about the effects of substance use among influencers and celebrities. Many young individuals look up to figures like Hanumanthu, and such disclosures can have significant consequences on their perceptions and behaviors. The fallout from his actions extends beyond legal issues; it also encompasses the ethical obligations that accompany public visibility. Reactions from the Public and Consequences The public’s reaction to Hanumanthu's arrest has been varied. Many viewers voiced their outrage over both his initial remarks and his later substance use. Social media has been inundated with discussions, memes, and criticisms, illustrating the swift spread of information and opinions in today’s digital environment. Critics contend that individuals like Hanumanthu should be held accountable for their influence, particularly when it concerns endorsing a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior. On the other hand, some supporters have rallied behind him, advocating for the necessity of empathy and understanding. They highlight the pressures that accompany being a public figure, especially in a hyper-connected world where every action is scrutinized. This divide in public sentiment mirrors a broader societal conversation about celebrity culture, accountability, and the intricacies of mental health and substance use. The Wider Picture of Substance Abuse Hanumanthu's situation is also part of a larger discourse regarding drug abuse in India, especially among the youth. As discussions about mental health and substance use become more widespread, incidents like this underscore the pressing need for awareness and education about addiction and its root causes. The stigma surrounding drug use often hampers open dialogue about the topic, leaving many to endure in silence. Moreover, the legal implications of the NDPS Act spark questions about how society addresses drug-related offenses. While the act aims to deter substance abuse, critics argue that such laws can disproportionately impact certain demographics and do not tackle the underlying causes of addiction. Conversations around harm reduction, rehabilitation, and public health strategies are increasingly relevant within the framework of these laws. Prospects Ahead for Hanumanthu As Hanumanthu navigates the forthcoming legal hurdles, his future remains unpredictable. He faces possible legal repercussions for both his unsatisfactory comments and his substance use, which could greatly affect his career and personal life. The scenario serves as a cautionary example for content creators about the consequences of their expressions and actions, highlighting the need for thoughtful engagement with their audience.…
