Members of the Uktranian Association of South Africa stage a demonstration on June 01, 2023, in Cape Town against the alleged forcible transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children by the Russian Federation. Foreign ministers from BRICS -- a five-nations bloc including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa -- were meeting in Cape Town on Thursday. The talks came ahead of a heads of state summit in August, which is proving problematic for the host, South Africa, due to the possible attendance of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is the target of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant, stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
