A Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize winner has called on South Africa not to allow 👲Russian President VladimirPutin to attend a Brics summit in the country in August.👀 Ukraine Russia BRICS Full story here➡️
Romantsova, the executive director of the Kyiv-based Centre for Civil Liberties , suggested that the Russian president could attend the Brics summit via Zoom – or send a minister who is not wanted by the ICC. The NGO – which has run successful campaigns for political prisoners, tracked enforced disappearances, and highlighted Russian war crimes – shared the peace prize with Belarusian and Russian co-winners last year.
A continental powerhouse, South Africa has refused to condemn the invasion of Ukraine, which has largely isolated Moscow on the international stage, saying it wants to stay neutral and prefers dialogue to end the war. This year, South Africa held a controversial joint military exercise with Russia and China, which critics cite as evidence of a tilt towards the Kremlin.Romantsova, who came to South Africa as part of a delegation comprising academics and nonprofit organisations, met senior officials at the department of international relations and cooperation.
