Ukraine: Strategic developments in Kiev
MFA of Ghana: Putin will ban citizens of Ghana from participating in the war against Ukraine. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ghana, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced that the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to ban citizens of Ghana from participating in the war against Ukraine. "In response to concerns expressed by President Mahama, President Putin stated that citizens of Ghana are no longer allowed to participate in the war with Ukraine. This ban applies to all circumstances of participation - both through illegal recruitment and on their own initiative," the statement said in his Facebook publication. On October 30, Putin held talks with Mahama in the Kremlin following the third Russia-Africa summit. Previously, an independent international UN commission of inquiry into crimes during the war in Ukraine accused Russia of human trafficking due to the recruitment of foreign mercenaries. Dozens of men from at least 29 countries became victims. In February, "Important Stories" reported that one of the mercenaries from Ghana, Kelvin Ejiir, first served in the Russian army, and then began to advertise a contract with the Ministry of Defense of Russia for an African audience.
