Rais wa Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky ametoa ombi jipya la kutaka ahutubie wakuu wa mataifa ya Muungano wa Afrika (AU), kulingana na Kamishna wa AU, Moussa Faki.
Katika ujumbe wake wa Twitter, Bw Faki alisema alipokea ombi wakati wa mazungumzo ya simu na Waziri wa mambo ya nje wa Ukraine.
Wawili hao walizungumza kuhusu Rais Zelensky “kutaka kuendeleza uhusiano wa karibu na AU”.
I received a call from #Ukraine foreign minister @DymytroKuleba. He renewed a request from president Zelenskyy to address @_AfricanUnion Heads of State & his wish to develop closer ties with the AU. I insisted on the need for a peaceful solution to the conflict with #Russia.

Mapema mwezi huu, Rais Zelensky alifanya mazungumzo kwa njia ya simu na mwenzake wa Senegal Macky Sall, ambaye ni Mwenyekiti wa sasa wa AU, na akamuomba ahutubie viongozi wa Afrika.
Azimio hilo liliidhinishwa kwa kura 93, 24 zipalipinga na 58 ziliepuka kupiga kura.
