LONDON. May 16 (Interfax) - African nations will propose a peace initiative to Moscow and Kiev to settle the situation in Ukraine, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Tuesday.
"This peace mission will contribute to various other missions that are underway to bring a solution to that conflict," Ramaphosa said during a joint press conference with Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
A delegation made up of leaders from a number of African states plans to visit Moscow and Kiev, where they are expected to present their plan, he said.
Speaking on Monday, Ramaphosa said that, by virtue of its neutral position, his country was seeking to contribute to establishing the conditions needed for settling the Ukraine conflict, which he said should be settled in a peaceful way.
The South African president said in March 2022 that he had been asked to play a mediating role in the Ukraine conflict. He did not say who made the request.
