Saudi Arabia Picks Putin Over Biden?: MBS Warns G7 Against Seizing Russian Assets, Claims Report
The Group of Seven “likely” abandoned the US plan to expropriate Russia’s frozen central bank assets due to a “veiled threat” from Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg has reported.
The US and UK had been pushing for outright seizure of around $280 billion in Russian sovereign funds, which the West had frozen in 2022 citing the Ukraine conflict.
The EU, where most of the immobilised assets are held, was reluctant to see the euro endangered by the possible backlash.
After a deadly attack in Kashmir that killed 26 people, China has urged India and Pakistan to show restraint and seek peaceful resolution. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that conflict benefits no one, offering Beijing's support for de-escalation. Iran and Saudi Arabia have also stepped in, offering to mediate between the two rivals. As hostilities rise, India has expelled diplomats, suspended treaties, and closed borders, while Pakistan retaliated with its own measures. Global concern is growing over the threat of escalating conflict in South Asia.

A massive explosion at Iran’s Shahid Rajaee Port has triggered a devastating fire, putting the entire strategic facility at risk.

Investigations are ongoing, with poor chemical storage suspected, but sabotage fears loom large. The situation remains volatile as night falls over the blazing port.

Amid intensifying trade tensions with the U.S., China has cut its crude oil imports from Washington by 90%, turning instead to Canada as a key supplier. Bloomberg reports record shipments from Canada's Pacific coast, powered by the Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline. China’s strategic shift aims to diversify energy sources away from American, Russian, and Middle Eastern dependence. This marks a major realignment in global oil trade, with implications for U.S. exports and geopolitical leverage. Meanwhile, Russia and Saudi Arabia remain China's top oil partners, but Canada's role is growing fast.

In this latest update, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov slams Ukraine for showing no sign of readiness to engage in direct negotiations with Russia. Despite Moscow’s openness to peace talks, Ukrainian President Zelensky maintains a strict ban on any negotiations with Vladimir Putin—a move he implemented in October 2022 to stop separatism and control backchannel talks. Peskov insists that Ukraine must act, especially in light of its legal ban on direct talks.

In a stunning and unexpected move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a unilateral three-day ceasefire in the ongoing war in Ukraine, set to take place from May 8 to May 10, 2025. This marks the first major shift in Russia’s approach to peace talks, as the Kremlin says it is now open to “unconditional” one-on-one negotiations. However, Ukraine remains firm, having passed a law prohibiting direct talks with Putin following Russia’s 2022 annexation of four Ukrainian regions.
