President Museveni Receives Briefing on African Leaders’ Meeting with Putin

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has received a brief on the Russia-Ukraine peace mission talks that were held last month between Ukraine and Russia.

The peace mission talks were aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict that has negatively affected the whole world economically.

The brief was given to the President by the former Prime Ministers, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda and Rt. Hon. Amama Mbabazi during a meeting held at State House-Entebbe on Monday.

“The Rt. Hon. Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda and the Rt. Hon. Amama Mbabazi briefed me on the recent visit to Ukraine and Russia with the other African Heads of State. I could not attend because of my isolation and recovery from Corona,” Mr Museveni said in a tweet last evening.

The president added: However, our position remains clear, that the war must end through a peaceful process of dialogue between Russia and Ukraine. This war is affecting Africa, threatening world peace, not to mention the sanctions that are affecting many sectors like marine transport, banking etc.

It should be noted that between 16th and 18th June 2023, Dr. Rugunda who represented President Museveni on behalf of Uganda was among the delegation of African leaders who met and held separate peace talks with the President of Ukraine, H.E Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelensky and the President of Russia, H.E Vladimir Putin with an intent to end the war by peaceful means.
