Ukrainian President Zelensky’s special request to African Union

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a fresh request to address African Union (AU) heads of state, African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki said.

In a tweet, Mr Faki said he received the request during a call with Ukraine’s foreign minister.

Earlier this month, President Zelensky held a call with his Senegalese counterpart Macky Sall, the current AU chairperson, and asked to address African leaders, the BBC reports.

Most Africans abstained from voting on a UN resolution to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council.
