Background:
The heads of South Africa, Egypt, Senegal, Uganda, Zambia and the Republic of Congo are leading a peacekeeping mission to establish peace after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
As reported by Reuters, in addition to Zelenskyy, African leaders are also going to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The measures that African politicians can propose include the withdrawal of Russian troops, the withdrawal of tactical nuclear weapons from Belarus, the suspension of the ICC arrest warrant for Putin, and the easing of anti-Russian sanctions. They also want an "unconditional agreement on grain and fertilisers", in which Africa is very interested.
