South Africa says “no record” weapons were sold to Russia for war in Ukraine

South Africa has accused US Ambassador Reuben Brigety of “undiplomatic conduct”.

South Africa’s government requested a meeting with US Ambassador Reuben Brigety after he publicly accused Pretoria of supplying arms to Russia.

South Africa’s presidency said the comments were “disappointing” and no evidence had been produced to back up the claim, but agreed to institute an independent investigation. Ntshavheni told local broadcaster Newzroom Afrika that Brigety’s actions didn’t amount to a diplomatic altercation. “The National Conventional Arms Control Committee has no record of an approved arms sale by the state to Russia related to the period/incident in question,” Monyela said in the statement.
