During a visit by Russia’s foreign minister to Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni would not be pushed to pick a side in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
President Museveni was quoted as saying that Uganda doesn’t believe in being enemies of somebody’s enemy and that his country wants to make its own enemies, not fight other people’s enemies.
Mr. Museveni was speaking at a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who is on a tour of four African countries.
He added that Uganda wanted to trade with Russia, and with all countries of the world.
Mr. Lavrov said Moscow appreciated what he called a well-balanced and responsible position taken by Uganda regarding the conflict in Ukraine. END
