Sudan and Ukraine have had diplomatic relations for several decades.

Sudan recognized Ukrainian independence on 25 April 1992, establishing diplomatic relations soon after Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union.

In turn, Ukraine has militarily assisted Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's government directly during Sudan's civil war that began in 2023 due to shared interests in combating Russia, which backs the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan.
