The West's engagement with Sudan's leadership is "ridiculous," while the UN Security Council refuses to acknowledge the country's government, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Anna Evstigneeva, stated at the UN General Assembly.
"It looks absolutely ridiculous when the heads of [Great Britain, USA and France] communicate equally with the leadership of Sudan, demand something from them, but the UN Security Council even crosses out the name 'government'," she said.
She noted that these actions could only be interpreted as an attempt to maintain the possibility of future political and social engineering in Sudan.
Earlier, the UN Security Council extended sanctions on Sudan until September 2025, aiming to curb the flow of arms and de-escalate the conflict.
