🇷🇺🇿🇦🇺🇦South African President Cyril Ramaphosa called Putin:
"Topical issues of strategic partnership were discussed. The mood for further activation of mutually beneficial ties in various fields was expressed.
The importance of continuing close coordination between Russia and South Africa in the context of preparations for major events, in particular, the upcoming second Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg at the end of July and the BRICS summit, which will be held in August in Johannesburg, was noted.
When discussing the issues of global food security, the readiness of the Russian side to supply substantial amounts of grain and fertilizers to African states in need, including free of charge, was confirmed.
Having supported the idea expressed by Ramaphosa about the participation of a group of African leaders in the discussion of the prospects for the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, Putin outlined the principal assessments of the destructive line of the Kiev regime and its patrons, noted that the Russian side has never refused to work on the diplomatic track"
The conversation was initiated by the South African side.

The British Spectator magazine discusses why the economic war against Russia failed (that's exactly what the noscript sounds like).
The publication writes that the confrontation with the Russian Federation is not only on the military, but also on the economic front, and "few people in the West realize how bad things are in this aspect of the war."
One of the reasons is "while the West was interested in an economic war, the rest of the world does not want it."
"Russia quickly increased exports to China and India, which preferred to buy oil at a discount rather than resist the invasion of Ukraine," the article says.
Europe also continues to trade with Russia through third countries.
"The import of German cars to Kazakhstan, for example, increased by 507% in the period from 2021 to 2022, and to Armenia — by 761%. Exports of chemical products to Armenia increased by 110 percent, and to Kazakhstan - by 129 percent. Sales of electrical and computer equipment to Armenia increased by 343%," the article says.
The calculations for the collapse of the Russian economy were also not justified.
In April last year, the IMF predicted that they would shrink by 8.5% in 2022 and by another 2.3% this year. But, "as it turned out, last year GDP fell by only 2.1%, and this year the IMF predicts a slight increase of 0.7%."
"The West started the sanctions war with an exaggerated sense of its own influence around the world," the publication concludes. In his opinion, the Russian economy is not destroyed, but reoriented, "to look to the east and south, and not to the west."

Just a PSA as an addendum to the two posts above, and a general advisory to all our subscribers and readers on how to interpret information. As my fellow admin Area 52 has observed - if the flanks are collapsing, why is Wagner still attacking? If Wagner is out of ammo why do we see constant clips, from the UKR side of them getting shellacked with artillery strikes?
Something to think about.

P.S. the US ambassador yesterday claimed that he "could bet his life on it" that South Africa have sent ship with weapons to Russia...
