Putin shows African leaders 'peace document' signed and later thrown away by Ukrainian side

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday met with a group of leaders of African countries who traveled to Russia on a “peace mission” the day after they went to Ukraine.

The seven African leaders — the presidents of Comoros, Senegal, South Africa and Zambia, as well as Egypt’s prime minister and top envoys from the Republic of Congo and Uganda — visited Ukraine on Friday to try to help end the nearly 16-month-old war.

During their meeting with Putin on Saturday in St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city where Putin was attending a business forum, Putin showed the African leaders an alleged draft peace agreement with Ukraine, blaming Ukraine and its Western allies for starting the conflict.

Meanwhile, it’s the Ukrainian side that refused to negotiate, Putin said, noting that Ukraine had issued a decree banning talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He also said that the food crisis had been caused by the actions of Western countries, not by what Russia calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.

Kiev even killed their own negotiator as traitor

[givenjust]

Well said Putin, "Where are the guarantees that they won't give up any other So it is an unnegotiable war and can only decide in the battlefield sadly.

[PinkR_Tulip]

Zelensky has ordered!! It was actually the US never wanted the Ukraine war to end!!

[lilacer]

African leaders seemed to not be following the events of the past year. Were they not aware of the Minsk agreements and other peace deals

[TWINS-TV-PRANKS]

Well spoken MR President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin 🇷🇺 ❤

[auricjaya]

Putin is an eminent strategist from the Soviet Era. Very patient and composed until Uncle Sam decided to poke the Bear with Ukraine and NATO encroachment. He played the card right both locally and internationally. You may call him a dictator for life, but he has proven to the world that he is the perfect leader for Russia.

If it is true an agreement exists between Russia and Ukraine, did Ukraine abide by this Agreement. If no, why. There must be a good reason. We want to know

[peterchindove]

South Africa, Senegal need discernment.

[SunnyFLBoy]

This agreement was the last hope for Ukraine to withstand as a country. But since they threw it away their country won't exist within the current borders.

[muhammadabdulkadir]

Come on guys get together and put up an army to rival NATO, stand together stand strong BRICS +👍

[geoffreybyamukama]

Thank you for the African team initiative.

[JohnT.]

Western media never included this part in their reporting.

[mikecimerian]

I would like to read a transcript of the document.

[darkcloud]

Negotiating with Zelensky is the wrong way. You need to negotiate with his masters in the US.

[RR-vghg]

The poor African leaders better not spout ignorant statements or act like stooges

[lucacurto]

shows this to people. Let them think why this doesnt get on the news

[PhoenixFaridaNagai]

I like the why Putin is talking to the African delegation with respect and dignity but also listens to them 😊absolutely Fantastic leadership❤

[maegorbalerion]

To disclose this for the first time in world vision, was calculated in order to give the African leaders more political prestige in the international arena. Think about it in the past nobody gave any importance to the African leaders in international politics. Even south Africa was disregarded

[dirgsuite]

Boris Johnson in Kiev in April 2022 on behalf of the US talking to Zelensky: We can make you win this war. But if you want our weapons you must end this negotiations at once. Zelensky: Yes. The result was an endless war.

President Putin presented the 2022 March/April peace agreement draft between The Russian Federation and Ukraine. It was destroyed by interference from the West via Boris Johnson. President Putin demonstrated that The Russian Federation does not need assistance when it comes to seeking peace. Added to this draft are the two Minsk Agreements. It is the 11 sanction packages issued by the US, NATO and EU that are causing issues for Africa. African leaders came weak.
