President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia’s war against Ukraine “colonial”.
“Russia is a colonialist who wants to destroy our state,” he said, speaking to representatives of the African media.
He urged journalists “to convey to every family on the African continent that we are peace-loving people. We are not different from you. We have the same values.”
Zelensky noted that Russia invests in the African continent less than 1% of all investments in Africa. “This is their faith in the future of the African continent. Russia does not invest in you. It invests politically. They say that they are the heirs of the USSR,” he said.
Zelensky stressed that Ukraine is ready to guarantee the food security of the African continent.
