Zelensky struggles to gain support in African countries as Russian interests prevail
1 year ago
6
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the chairman of the African Union early last month and asked if he could speak to African leaders to explain his country’s plight since the Russian invasion. The response was polite but noncommittal.
Five weeks later, even after repeating his request to another African Union official, Mr. Zelensky is still waiting for a chance to speak.
The unofficial snub is the latest sign of Russia’s continuing influence in many African countries. While the West sends a seemingly endless flow of weapons and politicians to Kyiv, there has been a distinct lack of African support for Ukraine and, significantly, a complete absence of African sanctions against Moscow.
