Participants of the Russian-African meetings on Ukraine, which took place on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa summit, apparently failed to agree on a joint statement. Such a conclusion suggests itself from the comments of Dmitry Peskov.
On Saturday, he promised that the document would be published in the near future, but so far no trace of it has appeared in the public space.
On Monday, the speaker The Kremlin explained to reporters that the Russian side had prepared its own draft joint statement, which was handed over to the South African delegation led by Cyril Ramaphosa before her return to her homeland.
“As soon as it is understood that the text has been agreed upon, the Russian side will publish it ”, Peskov said.
Recall that the meeting on Ukraine lasted until two in the morning on Sunday. Previously, its participants from the African side called on Kiev and Moscow to stop hostilities and start negotiations, and also spoke in favor of resuming the grain deal.
What kind of claims Ramaphosa had about the draft statement proposed by Russia is still unknown.
