Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera has engaged in a phone conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and the Malawi president has assured Ukraine of Malawi\u2019s support as the European country continues to defend itself from Russia\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

According to State House, the two leaders discussed their shared aspiration for stronger Malawi-Ukraine relations. President Zelensky thanked President Chakwera for his strong moral leadership, having been one of the first African leaders to speak out against the invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also outlined the various disruptions the war is causing, including the global price of fuel, food, and fertilizer, which he said will regularize once peace and security in Eastern Europe is restored.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor his part, President Chakwera commended his counterpart for his inspiring resolve to mount a formidable defense of Ukraine\u2019s freedom and global stability, and assured him of Malawi\u2019s bilateral and multi-lateral support,\u201d said State House.<\/p>\n

Writing on his Facebook Page about the call, Chakwera said Ukraine\u2019s blocked ports and inability to export grains to low-income nations have driven up food prices, pushing millions into poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cLDCs & SADC, both of which I chair, are the worst hit, and so it was imperative to have a chat today with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine,\u201d said Chakwera.<\/p>\n

United Nations statistics show that over 5000 people have been killed since the war started in February this year.<\/p>\n
