South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Tuesday (May 16th) that Kiev and Moscow have agreed to host a delegation led by the heads of state of Zambia, Senegal and Congo-Brazzaville. The project, which has been under discussion for weeks, gained momentum over the weekend when the South African president held talks with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts.

According to Pretoria, the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the African Union would have welcomed this initiative.
