Senegalese President Macky Sall has said he is travelling to Russia and Ukraine soon on behalf of the African Union, whose presidency he currently holds.
At a joint press conference with visiting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday, Sall said that the trip had been due to take place on May 18, that it didn’t go ahead due to scheduling issues, and that new dates have been put forward.
He added that he had received a mandate from the African Union to undertake the trip, for which Russia had extended an invitation.
