Russia Alleges Ukrainian, French and Polish Operatives Secretly Active in Mali Coup
Russian personnel from the Africa Corps say Ukrainian, French and Polish operatives were active in Mali during last month’s coup attempt. The claim was made during a documentary screening in Moscow, where officials cited radio intercepts capturing foreign languages among armed groups. Malian authorities have described the violence as part of a wider campaign to destabilize their Russia-friendly government. Western nations named in the allegations have not publicly responded. Earlier, Russia’s Defence Ministry said the Africa Corps helped Malian troops repel attacks by jihadist and separatist groups linked to Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin and the Azawad Liberation Front.
