Russia: What’s happening and why it matters for Africa

Curious how events in Russia affect African politics, schools, and trade? This tag page brings together all our Russia coverage so you can see the headlines, the background, and what those stories mean here at home. You’ll find news updates, explainers, and pieces that link Russia’s moves to African economies, diplomacy, and education exchanges.

What you'll find here

We organise Russia stories into clear categories so you get straight to what matters. Expect short news briefs for fast updates, deeper explainers when a story needs context, and feature pieces that track long-term ties — like energy deals, military cooperation, student scholarships, and trade agreements. If a development in Moscow affects a Nigerian port, a South African university, or regional security, we flag the local impact in the headline and opening paragraph.

Each article includes practical details: who is involved, what changed, and what could happen next. For instance, if a new trade deal is signed, we note which African countries gain access, which sectors benefit, and what it means for jobs or tuition support. When the story touches on sanctions, we explain which rules matter for African banks or companies and link to our step-by-step guides.
