EXCLUSIVE: Putin is no longer coming to South Africa

EXCLUSIVE: Putin is no longer coming to South Africa

Russian president Vladimir Putin is reportedly no no longer coming to South Africa for the Brics summit.

It is understood that if Putin does not make the trip he is likely to send for­eign min­is­ter Sergey Lav­rov instead.

President Cyril Ram­a­phosa and Putin met privately in St Peters­burg last week­end after talks with a del­eg­a­tion of African lead­ers attempt­ing to medi­ate peace in the Rus­sia-Ukraine con­flict.

A senior gov­ern­ment offi­cial with intim­ate know­ledge of the bilat­eral meet­ing said Putin, who has a war­rant of arrest issued against him by the Inter­na­tional Crim­inal Court, is not opposed to a com­prom­ise.



 

Pre­toria found itself between a rock and a hard place in the past few months as pres­sure moun­ted over Putin’s pos­sible visit to the sum­mit in Johan­nes­burg, where South Africa would be leg­ally obliged to arrest him.

Earlier this month, it emerged that South Africa had been try­ing to find solu­tions to hold the sum­mit without Putin, while mov­ing it to another coun­try was seen as a last resort.


Ram­a­phosa spoke to Chinese Pres­id­ent Xi Jin­ping, fuel­ling spec­u­la­tion that Pre­toria was con­sid­er­ing seek­ing another venue for the sum­mit to avoid a dip­lo­matic crisis.

Gov­ern­ment insiders say Ram­a­phosa used last week’s peace tour to Rus­sia and Ukraine to per­suade Putin not to attend the sum­mit in per­son.

Pres­id­ency spokes­per­son Vin­cent Mag­wenya said Ram­a­phosa would make an announce­ment “about the host­ing of Brics and all related mat­ters”.


Ram­a­phosa is said to have tabled three options to Putin: skip the event and send a rep­res­ent­at­ive; attend the sum­mit vir­tu­ally; or have it moved to another coun­try, prefer­ably China.

“At this stage he [Putin] thinks that it will send the wrong mes­sage if South Africa is to move the sum­mit,” said one insider.

In the talks he made it clear that he doesn’t want to sab­ot­age our sum­mit. And, as a com­prom­ise, he would be will­ing to send for­eign min­is­ter Lav­rov to lead the Rus­sian del­eg­a­tion while he remains in Moscow.
