What does the Ukraine invasion mean to Africa?

Africa Daily

Available for over a year

The world’s attention has been focussed on Ukraine after President Putin ordered Russian troops to begin a large-scale military attack on its smaller neighbour. In Africa, the influence of Russia has been extending across the continent, leading to a range of opinions about Putin’s leadership, ambition and power. And while it might be many miles away, what’s happening in Ukraine has been a topic of debate on social media among Africans. So, how is the conflict is being viewed in Nigeria – which has a sizeable expat population in Ukraine? And which governments are relying on Russia for military support?
