The world’s attention has been focussed on Ukraine after President Putin ordered Russian troops to begin a large-scale military attack on its smaller neighbour.
In Africa, the influence of Russia has been extending across the continent, leading to a range of opinions about Putin’s leadership, ambition and power.
