  • Story Text: Forty-five ships, submarines and other vessels on Sunday (July 30) took part in Russia's annual Navy Day event, a traditional show of military might which takes place in the Gulf of Finland and on the River Neva in St Petersburg.
    Around 3,000 navy personnel also took part in a parade on land, the Kremlin said.
    Four African heads of state attended Sunday's event and five other African countries sent representatives, according to the Kremlin.
    They were invited after a Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg which concluded on Friday at which delegates discussed grain supplies and potential peace talks on Ukraine.
