What can Russia offer to Africa? | Inside Story

African leaders are in Russia for an economic forum hosted by President Vladimir Putin.
Moscow says it wants to bring Africa closer, but in a polarized world after the war in Ukraine, that isn't an easy task.

And do African countries risk being caught in the middle of the crisis between Russia and the West?
