US ambassador accuses South Africa of providing arms to Russia

South Africa has been accused of providing weapons to Russia, as Vladimir Putin wages his ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

The United States ambassador to South Africa has claimed a supply chain was set up via a cargo ship docked secretly at a naval base near Cape Town for three days in December.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said an

investigation was underway into the allegations.

US ambassador Reuben Brigety said the US was certain that weapons were loaded onto the vessel at the Simon's Town naval base and then transported to Russia, according to reports of his comments carried by multiple South African news outlets.
