Egyptian activists interacted by marking the "leaked documents" with a report published by the American "Washington Post", stating that Egypt "planned to supply Russia with thousands of missiles," which was denied by Egyptian officials and a Kremlin spokesman.
The American newspaper pointed out that one of the recently leaked secret American documents stated that “Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi ordered the production of 40,000 missiles to be secretly shipped to Russia, in addition to plans to supply Moscow with artillery shells and gunpowder, to help it in its war on Ukraine.
According to the leaked document, dated February 17, Sisi ordered military officials in his country to keep the production and shipment of missiles secret, "to avoid problems with the West."
The newspaper quoted Senator Chris Murphy as saying, "Egypt is one of our oldest allies in the Middle East, and if it is true that Sisi is secretly building missiles for Russia that can be used in Ukraine, then we need a serious review of our relations."In turn, the Biden administration's nominee for the top human rights position in the former State Department, Sarah Margon, told the newspaper that "the deliberate sale and delivery of missiles to the Russian government goes beyond the limits of acceptable behavior in stages, especially for an ostensibly close ally of the United States."
