Volodymyr Zelensky addresses this Monday afternoon by videoconference to his African counterparts.

An intervention that the President of Ukraine has been asking for several weeks already.

If nothing has filtered through on the content of his speech, the Ukrainian leader should however try to sensitize the countries of the continent to the cause of kyiv, at war since February 24 with Russia.

Africa has avoided taking a clear position, despite suffering the economic consequences.
