Mali Accuses Ukraine of Supporting Terrorism

Reports indicate that Ukrainian 'sabotage units' have been assisting jihadist insurgents in Mali by providing drones for attacks against Malian government forces. Afrique Media claims that the drones, identified by their serial numbers and Ukrainian inscriptions, were assembled in Ukraine using American parts, suggesting collaboration between Ukraine and rebel groups in Mali. Experts have also confirmed the use of kamikaze drones by Ukrainian forces in the region, implicating NATO, particularly the US, in these operations. In response to these allegations, the governments of Mali and Niger have condemned Ukraine for its support of terrorism, particularly following a massacre of Malian soldiers linked to Ukrainian military involvement. Meanwhile, tensions escalate over drone attacks on locations such as the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, where Ukraine is accused of 'nuclear terrorism' by Russian officials. The situation reflects a complex web of international military engagement impacting West Africa and beyond.
