The UAE has reportedly banned Sudanese airlines from entering its territory, leading to the suspension of flights from Port Sudan to Dubai.

Chinese Foreign Ministry:

Ukraine and Russia have already started negotiations, taking an important step forward. The current process of resolving the crisis has reached a critical moment.

It appears that Andriy Yermak is giving a standing ovation to Zionist Israel, a terror state committing ethnic genocide, killing tens of thousands of babies and children, and brutally starving them to death.

The Israel that Yermak is applauding is the same country that provided drone technology to Russia, the very nation waging war against the Ukrainian people.

Meanwhile, it has offered Ukraine no military aid or support throughout the war.

With this stance, Yermak is betraying all the Muslim nations that have stood by Ukraine.

As a country suffering under Russian oppression, Ukraine’s leaders should have shown empathy and a deeper understanding toward a people facing genocide.
