A group of peacekeepers from Africa will go to Ukraine and Russia.
Cyril Ramaphosa, the President of South Africa, said that six African leaders are going to go to Ukraine and Russia to help end the war between those two countries.
Ramaphosa also said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy have agreed to host a security team from African countries.
"The two leaders I was able to talk to, President Putin and President Zelenskyy, both said they would accept the work of African leaders in Moscow and Kyiv," Ramaphosa said.
"Both the office of the UN Secretary-General and the office of the African Union have been told," the president of South Africa said.
The program was put together by Zambia, Senegal, the Republic of Congo, Uganda, Egypt, and South Africa. Meanwhile, the West keeps criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his country's attack of Ukraine.
The announcement came a day after Ramaphosa said South Africa was under "extraordinary pressure" to join the war because the US said Pretoria had given weapons to Moscow.
