President William Ruto on Wednesday held talks with Russian Ambassador Dmitry Maksimychev at State House.
Ruto said Kenya supports a speedy resolution of the Russia and Ukraine crisis.
“As part of the global community, we have experienced the adverse effects of the conflict. The two countries have a wide scope of investment ties in agriculture, energy and ICT,” he said.
In September, Ruto said he was committed to playing a leading collaborative role at the global level in solving the crisis in Ukraine.
In an interview with CNN, he said time is rife for leaders to stop pointing fingers over the conflict which has resulted in global grain shortage.
“I don't think it helps any situation finger-pointing and blame game. I think we need to sort out what we need to sort and we need to do what we need to do,” Ruto said.
He said at a time the world was faced with serious challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, the least we should have in between is war.
“Kenya will continue to be a responsible player on the global stage, we believe the internationally recognised instruments that call for the respect of boundaries of countries as the bare minimum we must all live by,” Ruto said.
