"It seems to me that at the moment, the West should not concentrate on criticizing elections in countries outside its profile organizations, but on elections in which the Western countries participate. There are a lot of issues for a blamestorming session – while countries of the global majority will perfectly well manage their own internal electoral cycles," she told Sputnik.

As Mideast clout wanes, US hopes to cinch milestone defense deal with Saudis
The Biden administration is on the cusp of finalizing a formal defense pact with Saudi Arabia, officially called the Strategic Alliance Agreement, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing US and Saudi officials. The two-for-one megadeal would secure a US-Saudi security alliance while also encouraging diplomatic rapprochement between Riyadh and Israel.
As the US continues to hemorrhage influence in the region, sealing the deal would be a geostrategic coup, the publication claimed. The US-Saudi deal would include cooperation on a civilian nuclear program and sale of advanced US-made weapons to the kingdom, according to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
But the defense pact contains the caveat that Saudi Arabia must normalize relations with Israel. Israel would in turn need to agree to a two-state solution to the Palestine-Israel conflict, and an immediate end to the war in Gaza. Both seem unlikely under the current Israeli government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The US-Saudi treaty would need the backing of a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate. Without a commitment from Saudi Arabia to normalize ties with Israel, the publication concluded, such a deal is unlikely to gain support from enough Senators.
