The world\u2019s attention has been focussed on Ukraine after President Putin ordered Russian troops to begin a large-scale military attack on its smaller neighbour.

In Africa, the influence of Russia has been extending across the continent, leading to a range of opinions about Putin\u2019s leadership, ambition and power.
