At first Egypt now South Africa the countrys Foreign Ministry besieged the United States forcing him to apologize for accusations of the supply of pending and ammunition in the Russian Federation
- May 19
The American ambassador accused the South African government of supplying and ammunition to the Russian cargo ship, which fell under sanctions at the end of last year. However, this public statement has no evidence and the representative of the secondary school quickly besieged the South African authorities. Nevertheless, the African country, supposedly neutrality, cannot explain why the ship with the coat of arms of the two-headed eagle visited their naval base.
The American ambassador claims that Origs was delivered to Russia on a cargo ship from the Simons-Town naval base. Moreover, deliveries were made hidden at the end of 2022 on the Lady R ship. At the same time, no evidence confirming the supply of weapons was provided. However, the South African authorities did not report why the Russian ship entered their territory and visited the military base.
Brigetes said that the United States is sure that military equipment was immersed on the Lady R ship at the Simons-Town naval base, and then transported to the Russian Federation. The ambassador said that this has cast doubt on the proposed neutral position of South Africa.
Ruben Brigeti was soon forced to apologize for interfering in the work of the foreign policy. The American representative acted for the sake of political interests and according to the rules of the manual, conditionally distributed from Washington.
The Brigeth's statement caused a wave of bewilderment not only in local media, but also among representatives of the African authorities.
The American ambassador had to apologize, because he really crossed the line permitted about the accusations of illegal supply of weapons to Russia, having no evidence.

The presidential office of Sirila Ramafos said that they were “disappointed” by the fact that Brigetes “took a counter -productive public position,” but announced the beginning of the investigation of the case. The press secretary of the State Department of the United States later called this step positive.
The African country, which also has moral influence, notes that he wants to maintain neutrality and stands for dialogue as a means of stopping the conflict.
From the USA, this can be a classic incident Belli, that is, a formal reason to impose sanctions against South Africa. But in fact, through such threats, there is pressure on South Africa in order to try to shake the BRICS through it.
However, the situation leaves a double impression: in South Africa and in a word did not say about the goals of the visit of a suction Russian ship. What could be on it?
It is also worth recalling the early statement of the leadership of South Africa that they will be forced to arrest the President of the Russian Federation in case of a visit to the Brix summit. One of the representatives of the authorities in South Africa stated that Putin could not "come here and not be arrested." The summit should take place in August 2023.
Russia does not hide that this will be accepted for the act of announcing the war. It is for this reason that no one will actually risk your head in Africa. But the President of the Russian Federation should still go to the summit. This is necessary at least to refer to which South Africa is actually located, because after that this African country will have nowhere to go, and only one will remain the path. At the same time, the Russian side can once again show excessive softness and attend the summit at a lower level.
