The Ukrainian Association of South Africa will on Monday morning picket against the official visit to the country by Russian foreign affairs minister Sergey Lavrov.
International relations and cooperation minister Naledi Pandor is hosting Lavrov for official talks.
The Ukrainian Association of SA said it will picket peacefully outside the Dirco offices to voice its disapproval. “The Ukrainian Association of South Africa calls on the South African government to immediately and unequivocally condemn Russia’s colonial war on Ukraine and stop any military and economic cooperation with Russia until the Russian military forces are withdrawn, Ukrainian borders are restored and reparations for the human casualties and infrastructural damages are made in full.
“For 11 months Russia is using military aggression against the sovereign country of Ukraine, threatening the world with a nuclear attack and increasing hunger and poverty on the African continent, all of which violates the UN Charter, human rights, nuclear safety and any moral and ethical norms,” the association said.
