The deployment of Saudi Arabian ground troops in Syria could lead to the destabilization of the global oil market, a senior Russian lawmaker said Monday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Last week, the Saudi Defense Ministry proposed sending ground troops to fight Daesh extremist group in Syria to the US government.
