The Presidency announced on Friday evening that the government will establish an independent inquiry to investigate claims of the country supplying arms to Russia.
Business Unity South Africa says President Cyril Ramaphosa should provide urgent clarity and certainty on allegations that arms may have been supplied to Russia, which is at war with Ukraine.
In recent weeks, the US Coast Guard has continued to monitor a Russian vessel, believed to be an intelligence gathering ship, off the coast of the Hawaiian Islands. The Coast Guard continues to coordinate with Department of Defense partners, providing updates to foreign vessel movements and activities and to appropriately meet presence with presence to encourage international maritime norms.
