 The United Nations summarized the statements of country representatives during the 3rd and 4th meetings of the UN General Assembly on 1 March 2022 concerning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Twelve African representatives made statements.  I would characterize their overall tone as follows:

Ghana - critical of Russia

South Africa - neutral

Gabon - critical of Russia

Cape Verde - mildly critical of Russia

Malawi - mildly critical of Russia

Cote d'Ivoire - critical of Russia

Niger - critical of Russia

Zambia - critical of Russia

DRC - neutral

Nigeria - mildly critical of Russia

Mauritius - mildly critical of Russia

Tunisia - neutral
