[1/2] Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba speaks during an interview with Reuters, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv, Ukraine August 10, 2023. "Unlike Russia, we want to invest in Africa what will benefit both them and us, because Russia's biggest investment in Africa is Wagner," Kuleba said. During a summit in St. Petersburg last month, African leaders pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin to pursue their own plan for peace. But Kuleba said Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who has balanced relations between Moscow and Kyiv, stood the best chance of reviving the U.N.-brokered deal. While acknowledging that certain public "voices" in the West were questioning the logic of their respective governments' support for Ukraine, Kuleba said he saw no signs from officials that support was waning.
