Rumours of Russian military exercises in Egypt

Probably a bit of misinformation, this allegedly came from the Egypt Independent. I am unable to verify as access denied to the newspaper – why, it needs to be asked?

Meanwhile the Americans have ruled out any co-operation with the Egyptian military.

Putin to arrange for joint military exercises with Egypt:

According to this article:

Sources told Egypt Independent that Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an extraordinary session at the Russian Kremlin to discuss the situation in Egypt and take the necessary steps to put the Russian military facilities "at the Egyptian military's disposal". Putin will discuss Russian arrangements for joint-military exercises with the Egyptian army according to source.

These developments come after US President Barak Obama's announcement that the U.S. is calling off joint military exercises with Egypt and threatening with further steps.
