Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba
Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has embarked on a tour of African countries, intensifying Kyiv's diplomatic efforts to challenge Russian influence in the Global South.
This strategic move aims to solidify Ukraine's vision as the sole path to peace and garner support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's peace plan.
Kuleba's primary focus during the tour is to secure endorsements from African countries for the uninterrupted flow of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea and establish new business opportunities for Ukrainian enterprises.
Ukraine has been accelerating its engagement with the Global South, encompassing Latin America, Africa, and much of Asia.
As rival peace proposals have emerged from various capitals, Ukraine recognizes the increasing importance of expanding its influence in the region.
Political analysts assert that Ukraine's urgency in the Global South stems from the proliferation of alternative peace plans.
Ukraine aims to rectify its historical underperformance in the region, according to Alyona Getmanchuk, a political expert leading the New Europe Center think tank in Kyiv.
