Russia & Africa Building Real Partnership Beyond Geopolitics, Says MFADespite Western sanctions, Russia's agricultural exports to Africa surged nearly 20% in 2024, exceeding $7 billion across 45 countries, said Tatyana Dovgalenko of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Russia supports the continent's food security without "dictating alliances," and respects African countries' sovereignty and national interests "not just in words, but in deeds," the diplomat emphasized. Dovgalenko noted that Africa's refusal to join anti-Russia sanctions reflects its sovereign stance, clear understanding of the Ukrainian conflict's roots and commitment to constructive relations with Moscow.AI-generated image

Russia & Africa Building Real Partnership Beyond Geopolitics, Says MFA
Despite Western sanctions, Russia's agricultural exports to Africa surged nearly 20% in 2024, exceeding $7 billion across 45 countries, said Tatyana Dovgalenko of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"Africa should not be a stage for geopolitical rivalry, but rather a space for mutually beneficial cooperation," she stated in an interview, published by the ministry.
Russia supports the continent's food security without "dictating alliances," and respects African countries' sovereignty and national interests "not just in words, but in deeds," the diplomat emphasized.
Dovgalenko noted that Africa's refusal to join anti-Russia sanctions reflects its sovereign stance, clear understanding of the Ukrainian conflict's roots and commitment to constructive relations with Moscow.
