African leaders met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg on July 27th. There is growing pressure from the US and EU to oppose the war in Ukraine, which some experts believe was started by NATO's expansion. However, the US ambassador to NATO denies this and states that NATO is only providing non-lethal support to Ukraine.
