CAPE TOWN, South Africa—Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have agreed to separate meetings with a delegation of leaders from six African countries to discuss a possible plan to end the war in Ukraine, South Africa’s president said Tuesday.
Four of those six African countries—South Africa, Republic of Congo, Senegal and Uganda—abstained from a UN vote last year on condemning Russia’s invasion. Zambia and Egypt voted in favor of the motion. “As we’ve said before, we are in favor of any initiative that could lead us to a peace in line with the Charter, in line with international law and in line with General Assembly resolutions,” Dujarric said.There was no immediate reaction Tuesday from either the Kremlin or Kyiv.
South Africa also hosted Russian and Chinese warships for joint naval exercises off its coast in February and which coincided with the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. South Africa’s top army general traveled to Moscow and met with the commander of the Russian ground forces on Monday.
