Egyptian stance on Russia
https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/...ge-war-ukraine

The Russian war on Ukraine poses challenges for Egypt's economic interests—but Egypt should look to its Western partners to ameliorate these impacts.

On March 1, the United States Embassy in Cairo website published a statement issued by the Group of Seven (G7) ambassadors in Cairo regarding Russian aggression against Ukraine. The statement—titled “G7 Ambassadors: We Must Stand with Ukraine”

The next day,( March 2nd ) in an emergency session of the UN General Assembly held for the first time in 40 years, Egypt voted in favor of the UN resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The vote is a clear first sign from Egypt that it got the message sent by the G7 ambassadors.

Summary of article:
Speaking out against Russian aggression against Ukraine will likely create short-term challenges for Egypt. Yet the G7 statement must be seen as an opportunity for Egypt to correct its course regarding Russia and its relations with the West. Cairo must stop adopting vague and anemic stances on Russian aggression against Ukraine, or else understand that its risks losing Western support on more vital economic and political issues.
