“Fighting Wrong Battle” Russia’s African Allies Slam Ukraine For Aiding Mali Rebel-Jihadist Ambush

Mali cuts diplomatic ties with Ukraine over Wagner ambush claims.

Mali says it has cut diplomatic relations with Ukraine, after a military official suggested Kyiv had played a role in deadly fighting near the Algerian border last month.
Dozens of Malian soldiers and mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner group were killed in days of clashes with Tuareg separatist rebels and fighters linked to al-Qaeda.
Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for Ukrainian military intelligence, said last week that the rebels had been given the “necessary information” to conduct the attacks.
A top Malian official, Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga, said his government was shocked to hear the claim and accused Ukraine of violating Mali’s sovereignty.
Yusov’s comments “admitted Ukraine’s involvement in a cowardly, treacherous and barbaric attack by armed terrorist groups” that had led to the deaths of Malian soldiers, Col Maiga’s statement said.
Mali has decided to break off relations “with immediate effect”, he said.

  2. The wests and their puppets Ukraine now support and cheer terrorists ? Waouu, we've seen it all, desperation really can bring out the worst of someone

  4. Mali is giving money to Russia the country invading Ukraine. Mali can't say anything to Ukraine. Russia is using gold from Mali to fund the war. Mali can F**k off. Ukraine owes them nothing.

  9. I'm very repulsed by this act. Any government which sponsors and provides assistance either by intelligence or moral support is complicit in terrorism.

    I don't care if it is Russia, US, France or the UK. Ukraine war with Russia should stay in Europe!

    Africa is NOT Europe Nor Asia.

  10. Why don't they go back to Ukraine and fight there what are they doing in Africa anyway because they're too scared to fight against Russia in Ukraine

  13. The Honorable Señor MR Putin had been telling the world for year Ukraine is a thug nation that practice Terrorist tactics’ UN and EU knows it – that’s why Ukraine is not wanted on it’s own merits’ but a fool to place Missiles next to Russia 🇷🇺 – you no good Ukraine’ get out ‘ go Home

  20. Ukraine constitutes of NAZIS and fascist and I believe the collective West are involved in destabilization of Mali and used Ukraine as scape goat as usual.

  28. Ukraine is a terroriste country, you soffrref to rissia war and you arr defeat by russia soldier nows you Come for africa works cor french and OTAN
