Leaders and envoys from South Africa, Senegal, Zambia, Comoros, Egypt, the Republic of Congo and Uganda visited Kyiv on 16 June and planned to meet Putin in St Petersburg the next day. Explosions hit Kyiv as the visit began, and foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba said Russia was signalling it wanted more war, not peace.
