African mass. Six Presidents from the south came to make a nice Putin
In particular! The initiative group of these "peacekeepers" includes the South African Republic (South Africa), Egypt, Zambia, the Republic of Congo, Senegal and Uganda. Neutrality does not smell here. Everyone knows that President Matmel Siril Ramafos is very favorably favored by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It should also be recalled that South Africa, Uganda and the Republic of the Congo abstained during the vote for the United Nations resolution at the beginning of this year, which condemned the full -scale invasion of Russia in 2022 and demanded that it be withdrawn. Zambia and Egypt voted for the resolution, but Senegal did not participate in the vote at all. In a word, a "coordinated" team is like a swan, a cancer and a pike from Krylov's fable.
South Africa was also criticized in the West for taking Russian warships for joint military exercises this year, and last month the US ambassador to South Africa accused the country of supplying Russia's weapons. South Africa denies the accusation that weapons were secretly loaded on the Russian ship Lady R in Cape Town at the end of last year, but still, the dispute has led to a strain of relations with Washington.
The United States is already considering the possibility of imposing economic sanctions on South Africa. Although Ramafos is an experienced negotiator who played an important role in the negotiations that have put an end to the apartheid, but so far the peaceful plans offered by other countries, including China, have failed, and critics are skeptical about the fact that the mission of African leaders has achieved the result.
The African Peace Plan envisages the withdrawal of Russian troops, the withdrawal of tactical nuclear weapons from Belarus, the suspension of the ICS warrant on the arrest of Putin and the weakening of anti -Russian sanctions. The list also includes a "unconditional grain and fertilizer agreement", which is very interested in Africa. Tomorrow African peacekeepers will visit Kiev with this plan, and on Saturday they intend to visit St. Petersburg.
