BLANTYRE – President Lazarus Chakwera has commended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his inspiring resolve to mount a formidable defense of Ukraine’s freedom and global stability.
It follows a phone conversation the Malawi leader had with his Ukrainian counterpart as they discussed their shared aspiration for stronger Malawi-Ukraine relations.
President Chakwera has assured President Zelensky of Malawi’s bilateral and multi-lateral support in the wake of the latter’s attack by Russia.
In return, Zelensky thanked President Chakwera for his strong moral leadership, having been one of the first African leaders to speak out against the invasion of Ukraine.
He also outlined the various disruptions the war is causing, including the global price of fuel, food, and fertilizer, which he said will regularize once peace and security in Eastern Europe is restored.
