In Ukraine, where explosions and air raid sirens have been heard in Kyiv.
It happens as South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and four other African Heads of State are in the city hoping to broker peace between Ukraine and Moscow.
The leaders are due to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later on Friday.
They’ll travel to Russia on Saturday for talks with President Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg.
It follows a visit to Poland on Thursday where he held talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda.
We have correspondents across developments on both sides of this conflict.
Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull is in Kyiv and Moscow-based journalist Yulia Shapovalova is live in Moscow for the latest updates.

Air raid sirens were going off when the us president was there!
But Haiti , Sudan , Congo , mali all in war amongst themselves they don’t visit these slaves most diee
I can’t believe this clown of Macky Sall went to Ukraine while his own country Senegal was burning.
You Nazis think African delegates don’t know the blasts are staged. And the Bucha lies were committed by Ukraine Nazis. You stupid Ukraine Nazis. I hope you all end up like those poor people in the locked up buildings in Odessa.
Western media houses didnt even bother to cover the humiliation of the African leaders security details in Poland. USA and NATO desperate. Look at what they did to South African Presidents Plane and Security details and staff in Poland. How can Poland detain SA presidential security detail and staffs 10hours going as far as streep searching some of them? The action by Poland was all planned by USA and NATO way back to humiliate and discourage the African Peace Delegation . . USA and NATO dont want African Presidents to get first hand information by themselves in Ukraine.. USA trying to hide truth in Ukraine. USA and NATO trying to intimidate African heads of States, don’t wish the African delegation to get first hand information by themselves.
USA and NATO are sabotaging the peace mission. Zelenskys is under captivity and USA and NATO don’t want African delegation to know the truth
USA and NATO are scared of independent people and journalist getting to know the real facts on the grounds in Ukraine.. USA and NATO are Soo evil and poor Ukraine is in captivity by USA and NATO.
Fake news…falsehood and propaganda…heee..😂😂😂anyway who is complaining and crying… USA and NATO are the ones crying and complaining all the times. Russia is busy fighting while the USA and NATO are busy begging the whole world to be on the side of Ukraine. But the rest of the world refuses. Anyway let’s wait and see how long the Ukraine play house drama will last.

Fake African leaders, they dont even have peace in their own countries.
I Guess This didn’t work because PUTINs in the progress of sending NULEAR Weapons to Ukraines next door Neighbor. They SHOULD have Stayed home and Shook hands after solving their OWN Countries Problems. Especially South Africa who LOVES Russia and Putin.
Long way to travel to see a clown in a NATO circus.
By looking at the video
U can see hw african leaders are useless to western leaders
Where is zenlesk to receive them
We show red carpet when European leaders visit Ukraine
I wonder what african leaders are doing there
Violence begets violence. During the days of apartheid in South Africa, Americans and Europeans visited the game farms and ‘hunted’ and killed countless big cats like lions, tigers, cheetahs and also other animals. When apartheid was over, the new powers took to this culture like fish to water, billions of dollars worth. I an not anti-semitic and sympathize with jews but honestly, when you read the five books of the holy Torah, one of the books is fully dedicated to the sacrificial killing of animals like baby lambs and pigeons and also other animals for boons and benefits…killing, killing, killing…violence begets violence.
They still come to south Africa to shoot out big game including rhino which is on the endangered list they sit on a vehicle drive up to the relaxed animal and shoot it and then brag what macho men they are why don’t they give them a knife and let them take on the animal in close combat they are to cowardly for that I hate hunters
Africa do it out of pressure from US but they know that you cannot argue with Hitler and his brain is in the US wearing diapers and forgetting his speeches 😂😂
These so called african leaders are so hypocritic. They would rather be in Sudan an african nation in in war instead of going to Ukraine who have contempt to Africans. Shame.
This channel should learn from other Asian media how to do the balance act..rather than carrying Bidens bag. All the personals are western biased
What a waste.
They have no business saving that dirty country, they should focus on Africa, if anything zelenski should come down here… Africa has no business with them
Al Jazeera also pushing the NATO narrative. Shameful.
Someone needs to top this twonk and soon.
It’s meant they’re have respect for no world leaders, and they don’t care about no humans lives 😊
Poor Africans we can’t solve our own problems but pretend to be pacifiers 8′ foreign lands. Chimera.
Africans leaders are failing to bring peace in their own Continent Afrika, what’s their interest there Russian and Ukraine war?
FAKE NEWS 🎉; THEY are Hungry southern Africa Presidents please who America forced THEM to go to UKRAINE… THEY are not Africa LEADERS please.
The so called hypocrite hungry Africa LEADERS with Empty brain’s Travel 🧳 to UKRAINE to please the Americans (the Directors of ZELENSKY and the Ukraine war producer’s)
When Did ZELENSKY TRAVEL TO AFRICA 🌍👌? But was Busy in EU COUNTRIES for help and support…
Did Ukraine as nation even came to Libya when America invaded LIBYA and killed a Sitting President?😂. No.
Absolutely waste of Resources… And the western world media happy 😁 saying it’s Africa LEADERS… No 👎 These are not Africa LEADERS please.
Zelensky is a clown. There were no missile attacks
The so called Bucha massacre was staged by Zelensky by his competent studios
It’s laughable the African corrupted leaders trying to mediate in equally corrupted Ukraine. Good luck. Great time for the African nations to have coup d’estat while the corrupted leaders are away!
Was that arsen Wenger shaking hands with south Africa president 😂
Russia frees Africa from their centuries old colonial thugs and what do they do….watchout Africa your not completely free yet watch as the western fueled attacks get worse…. I hope Russia ignores your cries for help
Special military operation 😀😂😂😂😂
Ramaphosa, thanks for going to Ukraine and please stay there
Ramaphosa went on a fact finding mission to familiarize himself with electricity and a functional train service. Yes, as a South African I am cynical and bitter, watching my country go from hope to dispair
In Ukraine ????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This channel is totally islamic jehdi terrioust aatankwadi mafiya channel this channel employee osma bin Laden, Isis, alkayda type hero alzazira hero 😂😂
President Ramaphosa has shown good leadership by fulfilling the goal despite the difficulties in Polands. His not just a president but a billionaire and travelled with limited security.
Im South African , what a waist of our tax money, this so called leaders of Africa can’t even run there own countries, Now they want to play Mandela, the dream of Mandela is dead, Ramaphoza is just a waist of sperm😡
what a clown world.
The disrespect African leaders are receiving yet we expected to support the West 😂. It’s not possible. West and Europe are warmongers. It benefit them.
Africa is seeking peace, respect, fair treatment. It’s evident west and it’s friends are not capable of such basic human decency.
It was first African students that were racially discriminated at the begging of this war.
NOW leaders.
Let the bombings Continue, we were there to seek peace. Zelensky refuses to talk peace. He may continue fighting
Comedians who can’t even bring peace in there own African Continent. AFRICAN LEADERS ARE FULL OF COMEDY
A fool’s errand. As an African, I couldn’t be more embarrassed; Zelensky & his fellow Ukrainian Nazis are rabidly anti-African racist bigots. Anyone recalls how African students studying in Ukraine were treated when the war broke out? Are these African leaders oblivious to the brutality that’s routinely visited on their US based cousins by Zelensky’s boss (empire US)? Have they forgotten how US-led NATO embarrassed AU delegates in Libya as they frantically tried to broker a “peace deal” between Gadaffi & the western-manufactured rebels? What kind of amnesia is this?
If not manipulation, why not starting in Sudan sir Ramaposa? Go to DRC, Sudan, Mali etc first.
Useless. The one who has the keys for this war is the US. Only if the world can can convince the US to leave what they are doing for this war to end. That is why Trump said from day one he will end the war in Ukraine.
Its immoral for African leaders to show up in ukrain…what poland did to South Africa president was enough for us as continent to never side with the American and their Allied….
Why doesn’t this person Ramaphosa stay in his own country and work on keeping the ‘peace’ in South Africa.What a joke!
The Africans May as well visit Biden instead of Ukraine.
Zelensky is ruled by USA. Moreover he had orchestrated the “Bucha” massacre and recently sent his movie makers to the flooded south Ukraine to make up still another story. 😂
ANOTHER BRAINWASH 🙉
Smart move Ramaposa. Please keep it up Africans, you bring hope to this senseless situation.
It is not a smart move the initiative came from France not from them
Why is it so difficult for you to name the other three African leaders? Don’t they deserve a mention? Come on Al Jeezera, this is disrespect!
Trying to make a moral argument to these fat corrupt leaders?? Good luck.
African leaders? Why in Kiev Ukraine and not in Khartoum?
USA and Nato Use Ukraine lake Soop or shampoo .
Its always good for Africa and Africans that Europe burns.
Let this war escalate and Russia bomb Europe with Nuclear weapons .
Africa have to remember what the Europeans have done to them and still doing.
Imposters African leaders when France Britain and Obama got together to kill Gadhafi in Africa where were you
Zelensky is not God
He can go somewhere
The only peace is US n nato to move away
Were my lord law Sunday 10commetmet bible say
Dem stupid so called African leaders cant keep peace in Africa want to tell white people a out peace
These African leaders need to get a Noble Peace Award!!!
Why?
Tell Putin we give hundred percent backing to kills and slave all of Europe and US. Infact u are fighting our war for us
I hear the answer of evil vladolf already : “bqetter not to interfere with domestic problems” …
Ps : What sais : “mission complete”, for the African delegation…
Intead of them going to Ukraine and Russia African Leaders should rather meet Joe Biden and tell him to stop sending weapons in ukraine they should be bold to tell them . Merting zelensky , and HisExcellency Mr Putin is a joke knowing that america still send weapons to ukraine!!!!
Explosions:) made by Zelenski to accuse again R. , As it was in case of blowing up Northstream, Bucha arrangemeng on the steets zig zag with white bands on hands.. , Drons over Moscow.. the disaster on River Dnepr… All work of Mr. V.Zelenski..( maybe)… please be objective and honest in your news !!
They are merely begging, mostly for food.
Normally people go to the zoo, now the zoo moves around
It is amusing how so much judgement is thrown at the stance of non western countries. When the war started, it was made abundantly clear that Europe and West placed the Ukraine war on a higher pedestrian than multiple conflicts happening across the world because it was happening to “people who looked like us”, “civilised”, “European” “blue eyed and blonde” (comments from Main stream outlets). The amount of institutional support and sanctions that has been seen in this war has not be replicated in respect of other conflicts. Even the present ethnic cleansing in Palestine where Israel is capturing lands where Arabs live in contravention of I Law. We get it, you support your own. However to turn around and condemn the “lesser” people for looking after their own interests is not only hypocrisy but also smacks of entitlement. The West does that because in their mind, it is clear who the subservient second class entities are. I condemn any war but West needs to understand that you don’t own us any more. If you expect grace, extend grace which means respect and reciprocity. Europe needs to get over the mindset that’s its problem are the worlds problem, but worlds problems are not their problem.😊
The air Stikes did NOT Happen more Comedy Lies from Zelensky.
Peace is NOT UKRAINIANS..
These Presidents of African Countries should not forget that the AGGRESSOR Country in this WAR is the current RUSSIA political regime, led by Vladimir Putin, a political regime that is, without any doubt, is having a true NEO-COLONIALIST BEHAVIOUR in its invasion in large scale of territories, which legally belong to the Independent and Sovereign country that is Ukraine.
We are witnessing the current Russia’s political regime having the audacity, acting with complete impunity and barbarity, to invade territories that do not belong to it, to murder thousands of civilians who live in the lands and dwellings that belong to them, and to destroy the architectural, economic and cultural heritage of its foreign independent country , which is Ukraine.
It should also not be forgotten that this invasion of Ukraine did not start with President Zelensky, as he already inherited this war, since the occupation of Ukrainian territories by Russia began in 2014, therefore close to the beginning of the President’s Presidency, who preceded President Zelensky .
It should also not be forgotten that the NEO-COLONIALISTIC BEHAVIORS of the current POLITICAL REGIME in RUSSIA is also already reaching the AFRICAN CONTINENT with
the performance of the WAGNER GROUP in the CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC .
Furthermore, it is disconcerting to hear the lies told by Vladimir Putin to justify his Invasion of Ukraine: Putin invades Ukraine in a clearly Imperialist and Colonialist behavior, but Putin says that he is defending Russia, and wants to end the Neo-Colonialism ?!? Putin INVADES the territories of another independent Country, AGGRIDES and KILLS its Populations, and Putin has the Courage to say that it is he, Putin, who is defending his Country, Russia ?!
It will be time for the Presidents of other countries to unmask this clearly lying rhetoric from Vladimir Putin, rhetoric that cannot be accepted by World Diplomacy.
40 children slaughtered in uganda but ukraine is more important
GLORY to Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Lies
WW3- & THE BEGINING OF GREAT WARS 2023.SEPTEMBER. 21
There were no explosion!!! Lies and propaganda will kill you all
So these African leaders are in the same Ukraine that treated Africans like 💩 to broker peace?! 😂😂😂 get da hail out of here with this pathetic scripted joke 😑
Meanwhile Africans are slaughtering Africans, maybe Putin should visit Africa with a peace plan.
Glory to all the countries of Africa. ☀️
The diplomatic envoy was treated very disrespectfully by Polish authorities. Poles detained their flight for 9 hours and confiscated their secutity weapons.
The should go to United States to to force Biden and putin face to face
Enough of war bring 😤 peace
African leaders you leave your own African states burning , Sudan Ethiopia ,to go to Russia, shame on you, you add nothing but shame and humiliation to the whole of Africa..
African leaders that have been murdering and enslaving children to work for blood diamonds to 4 yr old kids are lowered into holes for Cobalt from China. Fix your own countries first. Four murderers to stop other countries to stop murdering, priceless!
What are these spear chuckers going to offer???
Unfortunately u look at zelenskys demeanor, it was hurry up im not interested in my view,very different to any heads of state sending weapons
Let Africans fix African wars before going this far.
How about bring peace to Africa first.
Will they listen to African leaders in Congo, Sudan and central Africa just because they’re Africans themselves???
What are they going there to do while their continent is full of despots?
NATO treated African leaders like weak idiots.
Why on earth does Africa needs grain from Europe or elsewhere when Africa has so much fruitful land to do their own grain agricultural projects here locally. Morocco also have one of the worlds biggest phosphate reserves for fertilizers which is in Africa, so why do you need imports from Europe??? This is madness …African leaders should mind their local affairs and stop intervening with the west and focus upon local production of our food reserves and all local issues that needs to be sorted out locally. Forget the west and start building Africa period.
This is a winner take all war, both leaders are stubborn and want to prove a point. They don’t want peace , they want to rewrite history. As for Africa leaders, it’s time they give their focus on developing the continent and stop being charity cases!
The US government is the biggest bully, but they’ll find out with Russia
Africa is a blood thirsty mess a corruption playground but hey its leaders now want to solve problems of the world
Ramafosa and three others…..!!!! Terrible
puppets will never bring peace,as Africans let Russia deciminate neo nazis in ukraine,
“As these African leaders” can hear the bigotry in his voice
If I’m being honest, given the fact that there is no coverage of what happened in Poland and unending coverage of the attacks me question whether there even an attack in Kyiv at that time. No one has provided any proof of said attacks and yet it runs repeatedly on the news. Probably another psyops mission hoping to bring Africa to Ukraine’s side and not engage both parties in order to bring an end to the war.
What have they done to resolve the wars in Africa? They should fix Africa 1st.
The AK47 brigade from South Africa (let’s just call them K4 for short) is a government that is one of the least corrupt in the world and has as its leaders, amongst the highest IQ personnel on planet earth. How dare the Polish government and other racist neanderthalls reject their precious cargo? Long live K4 governed South Africa!
No no no
