Johannesburg: South Africa blasted remarks Thursday made by the US ambassador in Pretoria accusing the country of having provided arms to Russia despite its declared neutrality in the Ukraine war.
"The Ambassador's remarks undermine the spirit of cooperation and partnership" between the two countries, President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesman Vincent Magwenya said in a statement, adding it was "disappointing" that the envoy had "adopted a counter-productive public posture."
