Sudan is under pressure from the European Union and the West to publicly condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “member of the international community”.

Khartoum, whose First Vice-President Mohammed Hamdan Daqlo and a number of ministers visited Moscow on the day Russia launched attacks against Kyiv, has remained silent on the invasion that has been denounced by the international community, including the African Union (AU).
