EU censures Museveni’s son over Ukraine conflict tweet

European Union (EU) diplomats have condemned the powerful son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, for expressing support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Gen Kainerugaba had on Tuesday tweeted that “the majority of mankind (that are non-white) support Russia’s stand in Ukraine. Putin is absolutely right!”.

The deputy head of the European Union delegation in neighbouring South Sudan termed the comment as “unacceptable.”

Dionyz Hochel suggested Uganda may face unexplained consequences if it formally supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“We condemn this statement. We expect sensitivity and we expect countries of this region to be aligned with the EU and like-minded countries and to adopt the UN resolution condemning the Russian attack on Ukraine,” Mr Hochel told reporters in the capital, Juba.

The United Nations General Assembly will on Wednesday vote on a resolution censuring Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. BBC News

    The Western so-called civilization of wickedness of Racism which they took around the world and into India, the United States, Australia, Newzealand, Cannada, South Africa, Zimbabwe, etc is also playing out in Ukraine.

    The Racist State of Ukraine does not with defending. It president might be a Jew, but also was Adolf Hitler.

    I support the United states even though its not in its plans to truly sympathise with certain nations in need of help . They invaded IRAQ and killed a leader who was holding that country as a unitary & calm nation ,and they have to apologise & compensate IRAQIS for undeserved butchering of their brethren . On the other hand i respect & Love them for their democratic politics and this is evidenced by term limits for presidents unlike here in Africa where most countries have become Personal properties for incumbent Presidents ie EQ Guinea,Cameroon ,Zimbabwe etc
