South Africa's stance on Ukraine war and alleged arms supply to Russia under scrutiny.

South Africa's presidential security advisor emphasized the country's policy of neutrality in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, stating that it is "actively non-aligned." This comes after U.S. allegations that South Africa had supplied weapons to Moscow, leading to a diplomatic crisis. The U.S. ambassador to South Africa has since apologized for his comments. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has urged South Africa to help implement Kyiv's peace plan to end the war. South Africa has abstained from voting on U.N. resolutions condemning the war.
