Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>President Emmerson Mnangagwa has openly declared his support for Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa became the second African leader to openly side with Russia.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of the two-day Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum in St Petersburg, Mnangagwa said:<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is in solidarity with the Russian Federation in your country\u2019s special military operation in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Most African African countries mostly abstain from United Nations resolutions on the matter. Only Eritrea voted in support of the invasion.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwean political commentator Alexander Rusero opined that Mnangagwa\u2019s remarks could have dire consequences for his re-engagement efforts. Said Rusero:<\/p>\n

The implications are a contradiction to his effort on re-engagement and appeasement of the West.<\/p>\n

They are also not thought out against the realities of a state that wants to be taken seriously on sanctions claims.<\/p>\n

Russia is a strong patron but nowhere near as in a position to bail out a country undergoing a veritable economic meltdown as Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin gave Mnangagwa a helicopter and 50 000 tonnes of grain free of charge.<\/p>\n

Putin announced that Zimbabwe will be among the African countries that will receive grain from Russia, free of charge.<\/p>\n
