“The unilateral appropriation of Russian assets is […] unlawful, unacceptable, and a derogation from the UN Charter, especially for those who believe in freedom, justice, democracy, and the rule of law,” he said during a speech at the conference on Ukraine in Switzerland.

The Kenyan president also called for peace, adding that Kenyan farmers have felt the impact of the conflict in Ukraine due to rising prices for fertilizers and delays in their deliveries.

“It’s time for parties to the war in Ukraine to demonstrate good faith, abandon intransigent attitudes, and soften their positions,” the Kenyan leader emphasized.

He added that “Russia must be on the [negotiating] table” if there is a question of a peaceful settlement.
