On the same day as a peace mission of African leaders was set to meet Ukraine’s president, air raid sirents went off in the capital Kyiv. Earlier that delegation visited Bucha, a suburb where Russian occupying forces were accused of commint war crimes, massacring hundres of civilians over a year ago. They will meet with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, and then meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Saint Petersburg on Saturday.
