President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the African Peace Mission to Ukraine and Russia as impactful.
After meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, African heads of state from South Africa, Zambia, Comoros, Senegal, and the heads of government from Congo Brazzaville, Egypt, and Uganda met with President Vladimir Putin on Saturday.
While the mission’s ultimate goal is to help end the war, Ramaphosa believes the African group has made a positive contribution by being the only one that has had back-to-back engagements with the leaders of Ukraine and Russia. “I think the most important outcome of these discussions was: One, the willingness to talk. The other one is the willingness to go through the various issues that we raised and the commitment that we will engage further, and as it is now, the continent is going to have a summit with Russia, which is the second summit.
