Rebels received advance information and all necessary resources to carry out a military operation against Russian mercenaries from Wagner PMC in Mali.

This was stated by Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, during a national telethon.

“The rebels were provided with crucial information and resources that enabled them to conduct a successful operation against Russian war criminals. While we cannot disclose details at this time, we anticipate further developments,” he said.

The Kyiv Post published a unique photo of Malian Tuareg rebels posing with the Ukrainian flag after one of the last successful raids against Wagner terrorists in Africa.

The photo shows people in non-typical clothing and equipment for local citizens. The faces of these people were blurred.

It is worth noting that according to some Telegram channels close to Russian mercenaries, FPV strike drones were used against the Wagner’s mercenaries.
