Russian flags spotted in pretoria ahead of Ukrainian President’s visit tomorrow
A handful of Russian flags have been spotted in parts of Pretoria in the lead-up to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s anticipated visit to South Africa tomorrow.
Although the displays appear limited in scale, they’ve sparked attention and debate, particularly in light of South Africa’s nuanced diplomatic positioning and divided public sentiment on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The sightings come at a time when international focus is intensifying on South Africa’s role in global geopolitics, especially its ties with Russia and its stance on the war in Ukraine.
