The wording on BlueSky seems to come from a tweet by Mykhailo Rohoza @MykhailoRohoza , who is a Ukrainian veteran. A foreign affairs analyst (associate of RUSI, a respectable British defence thinktank) says they can't find where it came from.

Link to tweet

"The part that Zelenskyy signed a defence cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia is, of course, correct. Still, I cannot find any evidence of Rubio (or anyone on behalf of Trump) expressing "regret" that Saudi Arabia signed this without consulting the US."
