Russia Calls Out G7: ‘You Spent Africa’s GDP On Missiles, Not Development’ | APT

Russian Deputy Chief of Staff Maxim Oreshkin ignited controversy at the G20 Summit in Johannesburg, accusing the G7 of “squandering” trillions on defence instead of global development. He warned that the G7’s projected $3 trillion budget deficit equals the entire GDP of Africa, arguing that even a fraction of that money could have “qualitatively transformed” the continent. Oreshkin also criticised Western sanctions, tariffs and technological barriers, claiming they hinder global growth, and alleged that World Bank funds for Ukraine ultimately cycle back into Western economies through arms purchases and corruption. His remarks echoed wider Global South frustration and renewed calls to reform the IMF and World Bank as the G20 wrapped up its first summit on African soil. #russia #africa #g20 #apt
