Global Leaders Urge Putin to End Ukraine War

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, part of a delegation pushing for peace between Kyiv and Moscow, told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the fighting in Ukraine must stop. The delegation put forward a set of principles that the Kremlin deemed "very difficult to implement." Ramaphosa listed 10 principles, which included de-escalation, the recognition of countries' sovereignty, security guarantees for all countries, unimpeded grain exports through the Black Sea, and sending prisoners of war and children back to their countries of origin. The mission included leaders and senior officials from seven African countries.
