“We are talking about several hundred Russian citizens, approximately in the region of three hundred,” Zakharova said.

According to her, the Russian embassy is in contact with citizens in order to "maintain contact with them in an emergency."

At the same time, the exact number of Russian citizens in Sudan is unknown.

“There can be no such accurate statistics, figure by figure, because not all our citizens register with consular officials or declare themselves,” Zakharova explained.

Earlier, the Kremlin expressed hope for an early resolution of the situation in Sudan.
