President Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskiy questioned the legitimacy of the decision of the leaders of African states to visit Russia on June 17. The politician stated this on Friday, June 16.
Commenting on the upcoming trip of African politicians, Zelenskiy said that “it is their decision and it is not clear how logical it is.” However, the president of Ukraine admitted that “they are the leaders of free states, so it is their choice.”
A previously informed source confirmed that African leaders at a meeting in Kyiv presented the president of Ukraine with a proposal for a peaceful settlement of the conflict. The essence of this proposal will not be made public until the politicians from the African countries hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for any contacts to resolve the Ukrainian issue, including his welcome upcoming meeting with the leaders of South Africa, Zambia, Senegal and Comoros.
After talks with Zelensky in the Ukrainian capital, the African delegation is expected to travel to St. Petersburg to meet Vladimir Putin on Saturday, June 17.< /p>
