President Volodymyr Zelensky held talks with President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, during which he emphasized the important role of the Global South in achieving peace in Ukraine.
The Head of State reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.
“I spoke with President of the Republic of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, at his request.

According to him, he informed his counterpart that he is ready for any format of meeting with the Russian leader.
“However, we see that Moscow is once again trying to drag everything out even further. It is important that the Global South should send relevant signals and push Russia toward peace,” Zelensky added.
The conversation also touched upon future contacts with partners and opportunities for joint work with the African continent to develop relations, ensure food security, and create a platform for dialogue.
