The Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has announced the continuation of successful actions against Russian war criminals from the Wagner group in Africa, according to the representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine(DIU), Andrii Yusov, during a telethon.
As Yusov noted, "The rebels received the necessary information and not just information, which allowed them to conduct a successful military operation against Russian war criminals."
"We certainly will not disclose details at this time; to be continued," he said.
Yusov reminded that the Wagner group has been actively operating in the African region and beyond.
"They have been trying to resolve geopolitical and economic issues with their mercenaries, changing or supporting various governments. And today the whole world sees that this is no longer the same potential and capabilities of Russia. This means that new orders and reliance on them as an accurate tool for solving regional problems will be less," he added.
Elimination of Wagner members in Mali
Recall that on July 27, Tuareg rebels from the CSP-PSD movement demonstrated photos and videos of a destroyed convoy of Wagner militants in the African country of Mali. The battle took place in the city of Tinzaouatene near the Mali-Algeria border on Thursday and Friday - July 25 and 26. At least 20 "Wagner" militants were killed, and those who survived the battle were captured.
The "Wagner" group confirmed the clash with the Tuaregs and partially acknowledged the losses.
