"The war could have been avoided if NATO had heeded warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that its eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less, instability in the region," Ramaphosa said.

He was careful to clarify that South Africa "cannot condone the use of force and violation of international law."

The South African president refused to condemn Russia, saying he had been approached to mediate in the Russia-Ukraine conflict but did not specify who approached him.

thats like the very beginning of the war
It doesnt change the astute observation from their president

Why do you think we promised not to expand NATO at the dissolution of the USSR?
Because Russia would find NATO expansion intolerable. our creepy NSC types decided to play games
"Fuck the EU" ( remember that one?)

We did it in spades - we couldn't even keep our hands off internal Ukraine politics (Euromaidan)
Those chickens were going to come to roost at some point

Ukraine has every right to not be a Soviet satellite state, they can ally with the EU at their leisure, Putin isn't running the world
