United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres has said it is time for Russia to end its “absurd” and “unwinnable” war in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the European Union is preparing to set up a “trust fund” aimed at helping Kyiv repel the invasion and rebuild afterwards.

Apparently, while some African countries have decided to remain neutral in the Russia-Ukraine war, experts say it has already created blocks in the continent, with many countries quietly siding with warring parties.
