Ukraine said on April 25 that it had evacuated 138 people, including 87 of its own citizens, to Egypt from Sudan, where a cease-fire has come into force after deadly fighting. This included 35 women and 12 children, according to Ukrainian authorities who organized the operation. Citizens from Georgia and Peru were also among those rescued. A U.S.-brokered 72-hour cease-fire between Sudan's warring generals officially came into effect on April 25 after fighting killed hundreds, wounded thousands, and sparked a mass exodus of foreigners.
