Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty received a phone call from his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, during which the two discussed developments in bilateral relations and efforts to strengthen cooperation in areas such as culture, trade, and economics, according to a statement from Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The conversation also touched on the latest mediation initiatives regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict, particularly the U.S.-brokered indirect talks recently held in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Sybiha provided updates on the outcomes of those sessions and the prospects for further negotiations.
In response, Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s full support for diplomatic efforts that aim to restore security and stability in the region. He emphasized Cairo’s firm belief that dialogue and diplomacy remain the most viable path toward a sustainable ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Egypt has maintained a balanced position since the beginning of the war. While condemning the Russian invasion, Cairo has also preserved open channels with Moscow, underscoring President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s strategy of engagement with all sides.
Sisi has consistently stressed that Egypt’s approach is guided by the pursuit of peace, stability, and de-escalation. Egyptian officials believe that continued dialogue is essential to avoiding further bloodshed and bringing the parties to the negotiating table.
The phone call underscores Egypt’s growing diplomatic role as a regional mediator and trusted interlocutor in times of international crisis.
Human Rights Watch has accused an Abu Dhabi-based security company of recruiting Colombian private military contractors and deploying them to fight alongside Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) between 2024 and 2025, adding to what the rights group describes as a growing body of evidence of Emirati military support for the paramilitary group.
Farmers across Sudan say the hike in global fuel and fertilizer costs resulting from the Iran conflict will force them to cut back on planting this summer, restricting food production in a country where war has caused acute hunger.
In a post published Monday on Truth Social, President Donald Trump issued what amounts to a sweeping diplomatic ultimatum to the Arab and Muslim world: normalise with Israel through the Abraham Accords, or forfeit any role in the Iran agreement he is working to finalise.
