“Kyiv regime is actively involved in this, supplying weapons to terrorists, including drones, and training their militants,” the Russian diplomat emphasized at a UN Security Council meeting on terrorist threats.

He remembered the attacks on tanker trucks that occurred last year in Mali, the attempts to blockade cities in the African country, and the killing of civilians, carried out “with the help of external forces.”

Nebenzia stressed that “in addition to Kyiv’s direct support for terrorists, Africa suffers from the uncontrolled supply of Western weapons by the Ukrainian government of Volodymyr Zelensky.” “Weapons from there reach extremist militants throughout the region via the black market. Their illegal trafficking is only increasing,” the ambassador stated.

Amid this reality, the Russian representative urged the international community to take effective measures to prevent weapons and their components from falling into the hands of terrorists.

“The supply of weapons to extremist militants must not go unpunished,” he emphasized.

“Whether inspired by the US operation to kidnap Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, or imagining himself as the arbiter of the fate of African peoples, Macron authorized his special services to implement a plan to eliminate ‘inconvenient leaders’ in Africa,” the security agency’s statement reads.
