African Leaders Urge Putin to End Ukraine War

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa tells Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Ukraine war is negatively affecting Africa, which relies on food and fertilizer deliveries from Russia and Ukraine. A delegation of African leaders visited Ukraine to try to help end the war and then traveled to St. Petersburg to meet with Putin, but the meeting ended with no visible progress. Putin declared that the first Russian tactical nuclear weapons have been deployed to Belarus as a deterrent against Western efforts to defeat Russia in Ukraine.
