In early May, the US Ambassador to South Africa Ruben Brigeti claimed that the Lady R ships, which was under the Russian flag, loaded weapons and ammunition from the Navy base in Cape Town in December last year. According to the diplomat, American intelligence supports such accusations, and he is so convinced that he is ready to "put his life on the horse. " The accusations of assisting Russian troops have led to a diplomatic scandal between the United States and South Africa.
Representatives of South Africa deny the accusations that they have concluded an agreement with Russia for the supply of weapons. The Ramafos President's office announced that the former judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal would head a commission of three persons who will investigate the incident. It should be reminded that the plan of peaceful settlement of war in Ukraine, proposed by representatives of Africa, does not provide for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.
