Deputy head of the Sudanese transitional council Malek Akar was in Moscow to ask for help to end the war in his country.
He met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday.
Akar explained to the minister the root of the problem in Sudan, reported Russia’s Sputnik news agency.
They also discussed bilateral relations between their countries.
Lavrov said he hopes Russia would be able to use its connections with all concerned parties to resolve the conflict in Sudan.
Akar revealed that head of the transitional council, army commander Abdul Fattah al-Burhan will attend the Russian-African summit that will be hosted by St. Petersburg in late July.
War erupted between the army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in mid-April. It has caused a major humanitarian crisis and displaced nearly 2.8 million people, of which almost 650,000 have fled to neighboring countries.
The three cities that make up the wider capital around the confluence of the River Nile - Khartoum, Bahri and Omdurman - have seen more than 10 weeks of heavy clashes and looting, while the conflict has triggered a resurgence of ethnically motivated killings in the western region of Darfur.
Multiple ceasefire deals have failed to stick, including several brokered by Saudi Arabia and the United States at talks in Jeddah that were suspended last week.
