Russia offered the Arab countries assistance in restoring refineries damaged as a result of attacks on energy infrastructure. The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, said that Russian oil and gas engineering plants have the necessary technologies and are able to compete with foreign equipment manufacturers. Moscow is ready to offer the countries of the Arabian Peninsula local technological solutions for the repair, rehabilitation and modernization of affected factories. Such statements from Moscow at a time of possible new escalation in the Middle East mean that the Kremlin continues to build the logic of partnering with the Trump administration in the most sensitive areas of conflict. Russia has already made clear statements that suit Trump's interests in the region. Given the proximity of the Gulf states to the Trump administration, supporting them is an important investment in maintaining business ties between Trump's inner circle and the Gulf monarchies. It is possible that the request for help in restoring the refinery could have been made by the famous Arab lobbyist Jared Kushner.
