Agreement efforts/ The African delegation meets with President Putin

A delegation of African leaders is expected to meet in St Petersburg today with Russian President Vladimir Putin to broker a possible deal to end the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

The group met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday.

Members of the delegation include South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Senegalese President Macky Sall, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema and Comoros President Azali Assoumani, who currently heads the African Union.

Three other African presidents were scheduled to participate in the peacekeeping mission, but instead sent their representatives from Congo, Egypt and Uganda.

On Friday, while a delegation of leaders from African countries were meeting with President Zelenskyy, sirens could be heard warning of possible airstrikes.

Mr Putin has confirmed that Russia's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus has already taken place, reminding the West that it could not inflict a strategic defeat on Russia.

A day ago President Putin confirmed that Russia has already deployed tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, reminding the West that it cannot inflict strategic defeat on Russia.

He said Russia could theoretically use nuclear weapons if there was a threat to its territorial integrity, but added that his country was not faced with such a need.

The White House denounced Mr. Vladimir Putin's comments on the possible use of nuclear weapons, but said that the United States has not made any changes related to the country's nuclear capabilities in response to this rhetoric./ VOA
