South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has arrived in Ukraine in a delegation of African leaders and senior officials seeking ways to end Kyiv’s 15-month war with Russia. Ramaphosa’s press service said he was met Friday by a Ukrainian special envoy and South Africa’s ambassador at a rail station near Bucha. That's the Kyiv suburb where bodies of civilians lay scattered in the streets following Russian forces’ withdrawal last spring. The African delegation includes senior officials from Zambia, Senegal, Uganda, Egypt, the Republic of the Congo and the Comoro Islands. Ramaphosa said last month that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to separate meetings with the delegation.

    Ok, sure, but the SA government has done little to nothing to support Ukraine and was caught giving Russia weapons. Any historical relationship has been damaged.
