Grain, Weapons and Valuables: Can Africa become an ally of Ukraine in the fight against Russia?

Ukraine wants to change this attitude and attract African countries to its side. In addition, the continent is trying to buy the necessary weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Russia also wants to attract Africa to its side – on July 24, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov begins a tour of the countries of the continent, and the RT television company soon wants to open an African office to promote Russia.
