Government condones Russian aggression in East Ukraine by being silent
22 February 2022
The DA condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine under the guise of keeping peace, security and stability.
Latest reports indicate that Russia has stationed tens of thousands of troops at the Ukrainian border, an act of military aggression that might start a major armed conflict.
The DA is appalled by the ongoing silence from the ANC government on the tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
In a reply to a DA parliamentary question received today, regarding the government’s approach to the situation, the Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Naledi Pandor, chose to wax poetic on South Africa’s “Diplomacy of Ubuntu” instead of condemning the Russian aggression towards Ukraine.
