Westafrica and Ukraine

West Africa already has some conflicts of its own. It is brimming with climate change and political and social unrest.

Now Ukraine has apparently opened a second front. Only a few days ago, Ukraine carried out an attack on Malian soldiers, killing many soldiers, including those from the PMC Wagner group. After this incident, diplomatic disputes broke out between Ukraine and the two countries of Mali and Niger, which were about alleged Ukrainian support for terrorist groups in the region.

Ukraine is currently active in Africa. Only recently, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba was in Africa and sought support for his country. Ukraine is currently supported by the USA, the EU and NATO.

Sergey Eledinov, an independent analyst of regional security issues in Africa, said: "Ukraine has previously participated in special operations in Africa."
