African Countries' Junta Complained Against Ukraine to the UN Security Council.

Juntas of African countries protest against Ukraine's support for rebels in the Sahel region

Foreign ministers of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger wrote a letter to the UN Security Council condemning Ukraine's support for rebel groups in the Sahel region of West Africa. In their letter, they ask the UN to take responsibility for Ukraine's actions and prevent subversive activities that threaten stability in the region and the continent.

A copy of the letter was published online by a group called the Alliance of Sahel States, created by these countries' juntas. The letter calls on the Security Council to take steps to halt the support that threatens regional stability. Diplomats reported that the letter was handed over to members of the UN Security Council.

The scandal between Ukraine and the juntas of the three African countries flared up in late July after rebels claimed the destruction of the Russian group "Wagner" and Malian soldiers. Tuareg rebels also published photos with their fighters holding the Ukrainian flag.

After this, Mali and Niger announced a break in diplomatic relations with Ukraine, but Ukraine's Foreign Ministry responded that the accusations against Kyiv are unfounded and do not correspond to reality. The US State Department also expressed support for the diplomatic relations between the countries.

Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger are appealing to the UN Security Council demanding an end to the support of the rebels and condemning Ukraine for meddling in regional affairs.
