Some African leaders weekend arrived Ukraine for on the spot assessment of devastations in the country ahead of scheduled meetings to settle the conflict between the country and Russia.
The high-powered delegation include presidents of South Africa, Zambia, the Comoros, Senegal and Egypt.
The delegation Friday visited the Ukrainian town of Bucha, the site of one of the biggest massacres of civilians by Russian forces in the Ukraine war.
The leaders viewed a photo exhibit Inside Bucha’s white-washed St. Andrew’s Church, showing grisly images of bodies that were found lying in the streets in March last year, days after Russian troops were driven out by Ukrainian forces.
The African delegation is visiting Ukraine seeking agreement on a series of “confidence building measures” between the warring factions and to ensure exports of Russian fertilizer that Africa desperately needs and grain from Ukrainian ports.
While this is going on, the United States and its allies have been threatening to ‘defeat Russia’ and ensure regime change, selling their military hardware in the guise of support for Ukraine while thousands are dying
