Zelensky meets with representatives of seven African states in Kyiv

In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks on achieving peace in Ukraine with representatives of the Republic of South Africa, the Union of the Comoros Islands, Egypt, Senegal, Zambia, Congo and Uganda.

"All the nations of the world deserve to live freely, without the imposition of someone else's will by military or political means. But no one can feel that their borders are protected, and the safety of their people is guaranteed, while Russia is trying to make aggression and theft of foreign lands a global norm," Zelensky said following the meeting with African leaders.

According to him, he spoke with the delegation of heads of state and high representatives of African countries about the way to achieve a true and just peace, without any Russian blackmail and deception.

The delegation includes President of the Union of the Comoros Islands Azali Assoumani, President of the Republic of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of Senegal Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Zambia Hakainde Hichilema, Prime Minister of the Arab Republic of Egypt Mostafa Madbouly and special representatives of the Presidents of the Republic Congo and the Republic of Uganda, Florent Ntsiba and Ruhakana Rugunda.
