On Wednesday, the Ukrainian Embassy in Cairo thanked Egypt for voting in favor of the UN General Assembly (UNGA)'s resolution condemning the Russian invasion into Ukraine.
The Ukrainian embassy in Cairo said on its Facebook page: "Great Egypt... Thank you from our hearts."
In a statement, the embassy said, "Great positions come only from large countries, and as always Egypt stands beside the right side, so it was not surprising that Egypt, with all its regional weight, civilization, and wise leadership, condemns the unjustified Russian aggression against Ukraine.
"We extend all the meanings of thanks and gratitude to the Egyptian people, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, and the government," it added.
According to the latest United Nations statistics, approximately 874,000 people have now fled Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing attacks on the country by air, land, and sea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the full-scale military attack on the neighboring country last Thursday (February 24) after falsely stating that a ‘genocide’ had been taking place in the east Ukrainian Donbas region.
The result has seen Russian military forces attack Ukraine on all fronts and by air, land and sea, with the capital city of Kyiv and second city of Kharkiv coming under intense attack in the last few days.
World leaders voted on a resolution to condemn Russia over its actions today (Wednesday March 2) amid further calls for international support from Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Kyiv landmarks like the TV tower and Holocaust Babyn Yar memorial were struck by missiles.
