Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of committing genocide in Ukraine, while Charles Michel, president of the European Council, used the hashtag #BuchaMassacre when he announced the EU was preparing further sanctions against Russia.

Comme il est demandé partout, parce qu’il est l’un des auteurs ukrainiens les plus connus dans le monde depuis le succès du roman Le pingouin, traduit en 2000, il n’a pas été facile de l’accrocher par Skype, parce qu’il était en déplacement à Londres, Oslo et Paris, avant de retourner en Ukraine, qu’il ne veut pas quitter dans la tourmente Continue leyendo →

Russian President Vladimir Putin shakes hands with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the 2019 Russia-Africa summit
Russia’s reengagement with Africa pays off
Russia has been aggressively expanding its influence in Africa in recent years. As numerous African nations remain silent on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the strategy seems to be a winning one.
On March 2, the UN General Assembly in New York was asked to vote on a resolution calling for Russian troops to withdraw from Ukraine «immediately, completely and unconditionally.»
One hundred and forty-one of the UN’s 193 members voted in favor of the resolution — a strong signal of the international community’s condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The vote, however, made clear Africa’s division on the issue.
While 28 out of 54 African countries sided with Ukraine, the rest, bar Eritrea which voted against the resolution, either abstained or chose not to turn up to vote.
Cameroon, Ethiopia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina Faso, Togo, Eswatini and Morocco were absent.
Algeria, Uganda, Burundi, Central African Republic, Mali, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, Congo Brazzaville, Sudan, South Sudan, Madagascar, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa abstained.
