The second 🇷🇺 Russia-Africa summit takes place in St. Petersburg this week. Unfortunately, this event will likely be another opportunity for Russia to distort and undermine Western support to Africa. Below, @EUvsDisinfo sets the record straight. 👇

EUvsDisinfo: Unmasking Russia’s myths in #Africa: In 2019, Russia made a number of promises to African leaders. 4 years later, achievements are far from the promises. Regardless of where they go, one thing remains constant – they keep spreading lies. This is what Russia does. #DontBeDeceived

Good to talk to @Denys_Shmyhal
After today’s ruthless Russian attacks on Odessa and the decision to block the Black Sea Grain Initiative, we will work together to support bringing Ukrainian agrifoods to world markets.
We also took stock of progress on reconstruction.
