Egyptian and Ukrainian presidents discuss again developments of the Ukrainian crisis
The Asharq Al-Awsat reported, for the second time in a week, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi held a telephone call with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the developments of the Ukrainian crisis.
Sisi’s office said: “The Ukrainian president reviewed the latest developments in this context, especially with regard to the course of negotiations."
He emphasized the importance of addressing all means that can lead to calm and a peaceful solution to the conflict. He stressed Egypt's keenness to exert all efforts to that end, whether at the bilateral, regional or international levels.
In March, Egypt had joined 140 other nations in voting in favor of a UN General Assembly resolution calling on Russia to end the fighting and withdraw its military forces from Ukraine.
The vote included five against, while 35 countries abstained.
Egypt said it voted in favor of the resolution in line with its respect for international law and the UN Charter.
However, Cairo said the resolution should not avoid looking into the main reasons behind this crisis, rejecting to the principle of imposing economic sanctions outside the international multilateral system and warning of the economic and social repercussions of this crisis.
