“It suits the United States to close the diplomatic gap in the regions visited by Russian politicians. As soon as Lavrov visited 7 African countries, Blinken rushed there using the same route. The goal is clear – to pressure Africans so that their relations with Moscow are not of an active nature, ”wrote Karasin.
