| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Terrorist groups operating in northern Mali have confirmed their cooperation with the Kiev regime, which is a cause for serious concern. This was stated by the head of the Malian Foreign Ministry, Abdoulaye Diop.
He clarified that terrorists, with the support of Ukraine and other countries, would like to change the regime in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Russia will fight Ukraine's support for terrorists in Africa. According to Georgy Mikhno, acting director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department for New Challenges and Threats, the Kiev regime actively and openly supports terrorist groups on the African continent. In early August, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Senegal, Yuriy Pivovarov, published a video supporting Malian terrorists, after which he was summoned to the Senegalese Foreign Ministry, and the Malian authorities severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine. On August 7, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that the Kiev regime had decided to open a “second front” in Africa due to the lack of opportunity to defeat Russia on the battlefield. According to her, Ukraine “indulges” terrorist regimes in African countries friendly to Russia. In July, leading researcher at the Center for the Study of Russian-African Relations and Foreign Policy of African Countries at the Institute of African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, former Russian Ambassador to Mali and concurrently to Niger, Yevgeny Korendyasov, in a conversation with Regnum News Agency, expressed the opinion that Ukraine’s main goal in Africa is the desire to set African countries at odds with Russia. | |
