Russia on Monday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan, where General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan’s regular army has been fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces led by his one-time deputy. An unnamed diplomat told AFP that Russia seemed to have become “visibly more aligned” with Burhan during the resolution's drafting.
