Wall Street Journal: #Egypt Resists U.S. Calls to Arm #Ukraine
— "After Egypt agreed it wouldn’t send weapons to #Russia, it is now resisting requests from senior U.S. leaders to send them to Ukraine, Egyptian and American officials say, posing an obstacle for the #Biden administration’s push to generate arms for a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Egypt initially planned to send rockets to Russia but dropped that plan under pressure from the U.S. earlier this year, the officials say. U.S. officials, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, asked Egypt to supply #weapons to Ukraine instead, seeking to help the Ukrainian government overcome a shortage of #ammunition."
