🇷🇺 Russia’s President Vladimir #Putin: We have no contradictions with practically any #African country, and the level of trust and mutual sympathy is very high.

❗️First of all, because in the history of our relations with the African continent there has been no shadow – we have never engaged in the exploitation of African peoples, never engaged in anything inhumane on the African continent.

🤝 On the contrary, we have always supported Africa, Africans in their struggle for their independence, for sovereignty, for the creation of some basic conditions for economic development.
