According to the Washington Post, leaked intelligence documents from the United States, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi devised a plan together with his top aides that would produce and ship upto 40,000 rockets to Russia. Russia has been severely depleted of its ammunition supplies during the 13-month invasion.

These top-secret documents are part of a large collection of classified material that was leaked to various social media sites over the past few months.

John Kirby, spokesperson for the National Security Council, declined to confirm Monday’s validity but advised media that the documents are not intended for public consumption.

The documents regarding Egypt could prove to be true and it could cause a rift between America’s closest allies in North Africa and the Middle East.

According to the State Department, Antony Blinken, Secretary of State, met with el Sisi in Cairo in January. He “expressed solidarity with Egypt in its struggle with the economic consequences of Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine.”

Last November, President Biden traveled to Egypt and met with el­Sisi. He also praised the Egyptian president’s stance regarding the war.

Biden stated that Egypt had spoken out against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and that the United Nations was greatly appreciated.

According to the Washington Post, one of the documents is dated February 17, and states that el-Sisi instructed his military officers to supply Russia rockets, artillery rounds and gunpowder but to keep the plans secret “to avoid any problems with the West.”

According to the newspaper, a minister of state for military production named Mohamed Salah al-Din told the Egyptian president that he would order his people to do shift work when necessary as it was the minimum Egypt could do to pay Russia for its unspecified assistance earlier.

According to data reviewed and compiled by Reuters, the nature of this help is not clear. Egypt increased its dependence on Russian wheat last fiscal year in response to disruptions to global markets resulting from Russia’s war with Ukraine.

The U.S. Embassy in Egypt did not respond to Monday’s request for comment.

Fox News Digital was referred by a spokesperson from the Pentagon to a Monday press briefing by Chris Meagher, Assistant to the Secretary for Defense for Public Affairs. He stated that an interagency task team is looking into the leaks, and that a criminal investigation has been opened by the Justice Department.

Russia has, however, turned to North Korea and Iran as a way to replenish its weapons supply during the war.

Kirby, White House spokesperson for national security, stated last month that Russia trades food with North Korea in return for weapons.
