Main thing against Russia: Does Ukraine support Tuareg and Islamists in Mali?

Ukrainian drone specialists are reportedly aiding Tuareg rebels in Mali against the military government and Russian forces. This alliance raises questions about Ukraine's strategic motives and potential repercussions. Experts suggest that Ukraine aims to weaken Russian influence globally, including in Africa. However, the partnership with Tuareg rebels, who collaborate with jihadist groups, poses risks. While Ukraine denies direct involvement in combat, suspicions linger about its support for anti-Russian efforts in Mali. The situation is complicated by Mali's shift towards Russia and accusations against Ukraine of supporting armed groups, which could damage its diplomatic relations in Africa.
