African leaders hoping to make peace in Ukraine

Putin loves to receive visitors who believe thay have the answer to bringing peace to Ukraine. I fail to see what the latest delegation of leaders, this time from Africa, will have up their sleeves to end the war. Putin will of course listen politely but he will come up with the same answer. Fine, I want peace, too, he will say, but first, the US and Europe must stop arming the Kyiv government and promise never to allow Ukraine to join Nato. So the African leaders, with their good will, will get nowhere. Nothing will change. There is only one man on the planet who can persuade Putin to stop the war and that's President Xi Zinping but he's not going to get seriously interested until Putin tells him he has won enough territory to satisfy his objectives and I fear we are a long way from that time. So peace is a long long way away. The African leaders will get something from their trip to Moscow. Putin will promise to give them weapons and anything else they want provided they support Russia at the United Nations.
