It must be awkward for Ukrainians and Russians to be living and working side by side during a war. I wonder if there has been any violence between them. It sounds like most of the Russians there are just tying to escape the war. Thanks for the local view virtual.

My pleasure, just a traveler reporting in.
I don't think the expat Ukrainians and Russians clash all that much. After all, the Russians are dodging a draft.

Good question. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors?

The Saudis are changing. In some respects, they are halfway to becoming a liberal society. Still have a long way to go, but when MBS hasn't been shredding Washington Post journalists in a meat grinder, he has been imprisoning radical clerics and taking the edge off of Wahibism.
Hate to say this but it's worth taking a gamble. And if the US wasn't going to sell them advanced arms, the Koreans were going to anyway.
