On July 17 Russian President Vladimir Putin held negotiations with a delegation representing South Africa, the Union of the Comoros, Zambia, Senegal, Egypt, Uganda and the Congo at the Konstantinovsky Palace in St. Petersburg to discuss the peace initiative on Ukraine the African nations had prepared.
The creators of the African peace initiative on Ukraine expect to meet with Russian President
Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg and hope to reach concrete results in the discussion on how to solve the Ukraine crisis, the chairman of the African Union, President of the Union of the Comoros Azali Assoumani told
Sputnik Africa on Thursday.
"From what we have seen in the past couple of days is that the situation is getting worse. However, we are not going to give up. We have an opportunity to meet with president Putin to discuss and see how we can find a way of getting concrete results," Assoumani said.
In addition, Assoumani noted that the African nations want to raise the issue of the Black Sea
Grain Initiative and its possible resumption at a meeting with Putin.
According to the AU chairman, the topic is of a high importance as it has an effect on the "entire world".
"Consequences [of the deal's expiration] affect the entire world and especially Africa in social and economic aspects. So yes, we should make resolution to this issue a priority. In reality, everything is priority, there will not be a problem if guns are put down there. Unless this happens, I think the issue of grain and fertilizers affect everyone. We will talk about it in St. Petersburg, we will discuss it [the grain deal] with Putin to see how we could restart this agreement," he said.
