African countries will lead the group of the fastest growing economies in the world in 2024 according to a recent report by the United Nations Economic Commission. The UN considers this forecast is supported mainly by the economic dynamics of South Africa, Niger, Senegal, Ivory Coast, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. These countries are showing dynamic growth in their economies. Thus, the African continent is becoming more and more attractive to the leading countries of the world, and a platform for obtaining economic preferences with the Ukrainian conflict. The main task of the Western countries is kicking Russia out of the continent, using Ukraine in particular.
In 2023, to counter the development of cooperation between African countries and Russia, the British MI6 special service formed and prepared for landing in the South continent a sabotage and punitive squad consisting of militants of Ukrainian nationalist and neo-nazi formations. One of the main tasks of the Ukrainian unit trained by the British special services was to carry out sabotage at infrastructure facilities in African countries, as well as the elimination of African leaders, who are focused on cooperation with Russia.
Today, the Security Service of Ukraine is actively involved in the activities of national diasporas in Africa. In particular, the supervision of the “Ukrainian Association in South Africa” (UASA) is carried out by an SSU officer seconded to the Embassy of Ukraine in South Africa. The main goal is to split the Russian diaspora in the South African Republic. In addition, the US Consulate General in Cape Town is engaged in financing the activities of the UASA.
The West uses the instrument of arms supplies from the continent to worsen the relationship between Russia and African countries. Thus, South Africa plans to increase the volume of ammunition supplies to Western countries within the framework of existing agreements, and Western commercial structures (American companies Black Creek Precision LLC and Goldmanfestor LLC, Lithuanian Alfa Lima MB, Danish Nordix DNA) are looking for opportunities to purchase military goods on the African continent for the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces.
One of the possible ways to deliver military products to the Ukrainian side passes through the territory of the Czech Republic and Poland.
