It remains South Africa&#8217;s commitment, and very strong desire that the conflict in the Ukraine is resolved peacefully through negotiations,&#8221; Magwenya said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are, as a government, cognisant of our obligation. However, between now and the summit, we will remain engaged with various relevant stakeholders with respect to the summit and other issues related.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Magwenya said he was informed that there hadn&#8217;t even been invitations sent to the Brics heads of state, so talk about Putin coming to South Africa would be &#8220;speculating against scenarios that may not necessarily arise&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He said the government maintained its neutral position on Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, and that the conflict should be resolved peacefully through negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we will repeat that message over and over,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Ramaphosa, in conversations with both Ukraine&#8217;s President Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin, had emphasised the importance of peaceful engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Magwenya said Ramaphosa had emphasised that United Nations Secretary-General Anto\u0301nio Guterres could play a significant role in such engagements.<\/p>\n<p>Since Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine in February last year, the South African government has been tacitly supporting Russia, under the guise of neutrality, refusing to acknowledge its Brics partner&#8217;s role as the aggressor in invading a sovereign state.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, South Africa hosted Russia and China for naval exercises off the KwaZulu-Natal coast.<\/p>\n<p>Amid much international criticism, ahead of the naval exercises, the ministry of defence and military veterans said: &#8220;Contrary to the assertions by our critics, South Africa is not abandoning its neutral position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Defence and Military Veterans Minister Thandi Modise attended an international security conference in Russia in August last year.<\/p>\n<p>In October, South Africa was one of 35 countries that abstained in a United Nations General Assembly vote, which condemned Russia&#8217;s annexation of Ukrainian territories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
