The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, is trying to establish peace with Russia and came to South Africa at the end of April for advice on how best to do it. This was stated at a joint briefing with the US leader at the White House by the President of the Republic of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa.
The decision, first reported by the media last week, comes amid growing tensions between the two nations.
