Sybiha: Kyiv ready to cooperate with African partners to prevent citizens being drawn into Russia's war in Ukraine

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha has stated his willingness to collaborate with African nations in preventing their citizens from being drawn into Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. Speaking on the X social media platform, Sybiha emphasized Ukraine's commitment to sharing vital information and cooperating with African partners to ensure no more individuals are deceived, exploited, and sacrificed for Russia's neocolonial conflict.

Sybiha highlighted how many African citizens are enticed with false promises of employment, education, and improved living conditions. However, others, based on available information, have been listed as missing or deceased. Their families are desperately seeking answers regarding the fates of their loved ones who found themselves on a foreign battlefield.

To avert further tragedies, Sybiha proposed that African governments could play a crucial role. These include investigating recruitment networks, alerting citizens about fraudulent job offers, and collaborating to determine the whereabouts of those already sent to fight in Russia's war against Ukraine.
