The EFF has weighed in on Vladimir Putin’s decision not to attend the Brics summit next month, accusing the ANC of failing to protect the Russian president.
Putin pulled out of the summit amid a debate over his arrest should he set foot in South Africa.
The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Putin's arrest for war crimes allegedly committed during his country’s invasion of Ukraine. The EFF said the outcome was not unexpected considering the lack of security guarantees by the ANC to Russia, saying it failed to protect not only a strategic global partner but a historical ally in the fight against colonial domination and imperialism.
“It must be highlighted President Putin's withdrawal is a consequence of the South African state's reluctance to be firm on international affairs and their inability to resist pressure from Nato.”
