“In Africa, they know what Russia is, where Russia is located.
In Africa, they know the role that Russia played in the course of liberation from colonialism,” he said.
Putin noted that there is practically no African country that would not have received Moscow's support at one time.
According to him, Russia has very stable and friendly relations with African countries.
“If the people you spoke about knew where Africa is and what condition the people of Africa are in, then they would not interfere with the supply of Russian food and Russian fertilizers to the African continent, on which the harvest and the salvation of hundreds of thousands of people in Africa depend on starvation,” Putin said.
Earlier, Borrell doubted that Africans sincerely support Russia.
He expressed the opinion that Africans who support Moscow's position "do not know where the Donbass is and who President Vladimir Putin is."
