The poll was carried out by international research company, Ipsos, which also polled individuals in Kenya, Senegal, Nigeria, Uganda and Zambia ahead of last weekend’s African peace initiative to Ukraine and Russia and the upcoming BRICS summit to be held in South Africa in August.

CAPE TOWN - New research has revealed that more than 60% of a random sample of South Africans over the age of 18 think Russia is guilty of war crimes in Ukraine.

A small proportion of Nigerians, however, feel quite strongly that Africa can not afford to stay neutral and should support Ukraine. Given their history of colonialism, forced occupation and conflict, large majorities feel attempts to annex parts of another country should not be supported.
