Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday claimed that Russia captured satellite images of US air bases in the Gulf region, including Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, multiple times before an Iranian attack. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, Incirlik Air Base in Turkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th." The fact that Russian satellites are imaging key military facilities and oil fields in the region, without targeting Ukrainian facilities, raises questions about their motives. We have already signed a relevant agreement with Saudi Arabia, and we have also signed a ten-year agreement with Qatar.
