'They Have Easy Time Sitting in Their Living Rooms,’ Burkina Faso PM Points Finger at Those Prolonging Conflict in Ukraine
In an interview with Sputnik Africa, Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo strongly denounced the attitude of third-party actors who continue to send billions and weapons to Kiev, thus prolonging a "dead-end" war to the detriment of the local population.


According to him, the Ukrainian population is the primary victim of this forced escalation: "Do they listen to the Ukrainian people? […] When you see how young Ukrainians are chased in the streets to be arrested, forcibly taken, to be sent to fight in the war."


This war should have ended long ago, and he calls on the Ukrainian people to no longer leave their destiny in the hands of foreign countries that do not understand the realities on the front lines, the PM stated.
