President Museveni last night called out the West for continuing wars- observing that such conflicts “have disrupted global economies and supply chains.

Publicly commenting on Russia’s February 24 invasion of Ukraine for the first time, Mr Museveni strongly pointed out the fight as a major cause for a prevailing economic meltdown that has soared Uganda’s inflation from 2.7% in early 2022 to 4.9% in May.

The president asked “friends in the West” to de-escalate as he reproached use of nuclear weapons as touted in the raging war in Ukraine.
