    Russia's foreign minister again visits Africa, this time in Guinea, as some ties cool with the West

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived Monday in Guinea on his latest visit to West Africa, where coups and growing discontent with traditional allies like France and the United States have contributed to some countries' shift toward Moscow. Lavrov has visited the African continent several times in the past couple of years as Russia seeks support — or at least neutrality — from many of its 54 countries amid Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Lavrov met with Guinea's foreign minister Morissanda Kouyaté, according to Russia's foreign ministry.
