Egypt is one of the US’s closest allies in the Middle East. The country receives large amounts of American financial and military aid.
The United States has no data to indicate an Egyptian arms transfer to Russia. This was said on Tuesday, April 11, by the representative of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, in a video briefing.
“We have no information to indicate that Egypt has provided weapons to Russia,” he said.
Egypt is now and will continue to be an important US security partner, he said.
So Kirby commented on American media publications, which stated, in connection with secret US documents that became publicly available, that Egypt allegedly plans to transfer missiles to Russia.
In particular, The Washington Post, citing secret documents received, reported that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi planned to produce 40,000 missiles allegedly for Russia in February and ordered the officials to keep the production and shipment of missiles secret “to avoid problems with the West” .
WP obtained the document from a set of images of classified files posted in February and March on Discord, a chat app popular with gamers. The document, dated February 17, 2023, describes a conversation that took place between Al-Sisi and the leadership of the Egyptian army.
In this regard, the representative of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Abu Zeid, emphasized in a conversation with the Washington Post that Egypt “follows a policy of non-interference since the beginning of the war in Ukraine” , “trying to distance itself equally from both sides” and calling on them to “cease firing and reach a political settlement through negotiations.”
Recall that the Pentagon has admitted that highly classified information has entered the Network, the disclosure of which poses a very serious risk to national security.
