Massive Reactions After Mahama Says He’s Going To Russia To Convince Putin To Agree To A Ceasefire

According to a report by TV3 Ghana on Wednesday October 21, 2026, President John Dramani Mahama has said he will travel to Russia for the Russia-Africa summit. He said he will try to convince President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in the war with Ukraine, if he can.

The President explained his diplomatic mission ahead of the summit. His statement drew a wave of reactions on social media. Many Ghanaians flooded the comment section with prayers and words of encouragement.

Several users wished the President well on his journey. One commenter said God would make it possible and that history would be made. Another said they were behind him in prayers. Others simply wished him good luck and a safe trip. Some praised his courage and said they trusted him to succeed.

One user said Mr. Mahama is a good communicator and that he believes Mr. Putin will listen to him. That comment received several likes. Another commenter said the proper president had arrived. A different comment said that history would be made, and it attracted 11 likes.

However, not everyone was convinced. One user questioned how one country could call the whole of Africa to a meeting. He said the solution to Africa’s challenges lies within the continent and called on Africans to change their mentality. Another commenter dismissed the mission as a “21st century joke.”

Some reactions were sarcastic. One person asked who would buy arms after the ceasefire. Another suggested that Ghana should sign an agreement to recruit Ghanaians officially to fight for Russia. This comment appeared to refer to reports about Ghanaians who have been recruited to fight in the war.

Overall, the reactions show a divided public. Many people support the President’s peace effort and are praying for his success. Others doubt that the trip will change anything.

The summit is expected to bring African leaders and Russian officials together to discuss cooperation. Ghanaians will now wait to see what comes out of the President’s visit and whether his appeal for peace will be heard.
