PMC "Wagner" will fight not only with militants, but also with the French army.

The Prime Minister of Mali publicly accused France of training terrorists in order to justify the further presence of the French military on the territory of this African republic. These accusations allow the Mali authorities to send Russian mercenaries from the Wagner PMC invited to the country not only against the militants who continue to be active in the country, but also against the French army, if the latter voluntarily refuses to leave Mali.

Earlier, Mali announced its readiness to invite to the country about a thousand mercenaries from the PMC "Wagner". This caused very strong concern in France. Although the Prime Minister of Mali did not provide any evidence of links between the French military and terrorists, Russian mercenaries can easily squeeze France out of this country, including by deploying air defense systems, electronic warfare systems and other modern weapons on the territory of this country, limiting the military missions of France in Mali.

Earlier, the Russian side announced that the Mali authorities are in contact not with Moscow, but with Russian PMCs. In this regard, any accusations against Russia from Western countries are completely unfounded.

A few weeks earlier, information appeared that the mercenaries of the Wagner PMC were already in Mali, but in very limited numbers.
