LIVE: Zelensky Says African Mercenaries Backing Putin's Russia in Ukraine | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Подробнее о видео

As the war in Ukraine continues, President Zelensky's efforts to gain support in Africa are facing an uphill battle against Russia's deep-seated influence on the continent. Zelensky recently accused Russia of using mercenaries from Africa, China, and Pakistan, among other countries, to fight in the war. This comes as Russia, which is reportedly Africa's largest weapons supplier, has been expanding its political, military, and commercial presence, with soldiers and mercenaries protecting leaders, mining companies operating in key regions, and a growing number of diplomatic missions. Despite Ukraine opening new embassies in Africa and offering military training and food aid, Kyiv's outreach is struggling to compete with Russia's established ties and shared anti-Western narratives.
