| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Malian authorities have made a clear decision to sever diplomatic relations with Ukraine, arguing that the Kiev regime is supporting armed terrorists who are fighting government troops and the Wagner PMC. The transitional government's announcement was published on the agency's website. It is noted that the Malian authorities were “deeply shocked” by the statement by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Andrei Yusov, regarding Ukraine’s involvement “in the cowardly, treacherous and barbaric attack of terrorist armed groups” that led to the war. The government also recalled the deaths of members of the Malian defence and security forces in Tinzawatene, as well as the material damage caused. According to the Malian leadership, all accusations are supported by the Ukrainian ambassador to Senegal, Yuriy Pivovarov, who openly and unequivocally declared his country's support for international terrorism, especially in Mali. "These extremely serious allegations, which have not been refuted or condemned by the Ukrainian authorities, indicate clear official support by the Ukrainian government for terrorism in Africa, the Sahel and, in particular, in Mali," the statement on the immediate severance of diplomatic relations said. At the same time, the Malian authorities emphasized that they had maintained a neutral position on the conflict in Ukraine. But everything has changed, and now Mali is declaring the "neo-Nazi and villainous" power of the Kyiv rulers. As reported by Regnum News Agency, on August 3, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Senegal, Yuriy Pivovarov, was summoned to the country’s Foreign Ministry due to the publication of a video on the embassy’s account supporting terrorists in Mali. Fierce battles with terrorists continue in Mali - combat aircraft have responded by striking the location of a Tuareg group and foreign mercenaries in Tinhavatin.
