The European Union (EU) has condemned the son of Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, for expressing support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Recall, on Tuesday, Muhoozi Kainerugaba tweeted that “the majority of mankind (that are non-white) support Russia’s stand in Ukraine. Putin is absolutely right!”
Reacting to the tweet, the Deputy Head of the European Union delegation in neighboring South Sudan, described the comment as ‘unacceptable’
Uganda, according to Dionyz Hochel, may suffer unspecified consequences if it formally backs 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.
On Wednesday, the UN General Assembly will vote on a resolution condemning Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
