The speaker of the South African Foreign Ministry said that the country will not join the anti-Russian sanctions

“No sanctions.

South Africa pursues an independent foreign policy that is not influenced by other countries,” he told Izvestia.

The diplomat stressed that the foreign policy of South Africa proceeds from the national interests of the country, and not from external pressure.

Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto said earlier that Budapest would not discuss further anti-Russian sanctions in any area.

The Russian permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, recalled that Western countries have imposed 11,000 sanctions against Russia.
