Russian flights to Egypt to resume “soon” –Putin

How many times have we heard this? Flights between Russia and Egypt will be resumed “soon,” Russia’s president Vladimir Putin reportedly told President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, according to Reuters. “Putin affirmed Russia's intention to resume regular flights between Moscow and Cairo in the very near future," the Egyptian presidency said in a statement, but no specific date was given. We’re also noting this morning reports that Cairo and Moscow will sign this week the contracts for the Daba’a nuclear power plant.
