Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov visits Kenya after Ukraine's Africa trip.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made a surprise visit to Kenya to discuss cooperation in trade, investment, and economic spheres, among other issues. The visit comes as global powers, including Russia and Ukraine, seek to bolster support from African nations. Lavrov's trip to Kenya follows a recent visit to Africa by his Ukrainian counterpart, who called for certain African nations to end their neutral stances over the 15-month-old war in Ukraine and announced a push by Kyiv to intensify its ties with the continent.
