[Regnum] 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, the Senegalese department reported on August 3.

The Foreign Ministry was surprised by the publication of the video and the comments of the Ukrainian ambassador, who supported the terrorists, whose attack led to significant casualties among the civilian population, the statement said.

Senegal is a supporter of diplomatic settlement of disputes, adheres to a position of constructive neutrality in the issue of the conflict in Ukraine and cannot allow such propaganda, the Foreign Ministry stated.

"Our country rejects terrorism in any form and cannot accept statements and actions that justify terrorism, especially when such actions are aimed at destabilizing a brotherly country like Mali," the statement said.

The Ukrainian ambassador was reminded of his duties and the "seriousness of his mission," the Senegalese Foreign Ministry also noted. In the same statement, the ministry once again condemned the terrorist attack in Mali and expressed solidarity with the authorities and people of that country.

As reported by Regnum news agency, fierce battles between the army and terrorists continue in Mali. From July 22 to 27, servicemen of the Malian Armed Forces and fighters of the 13th assault detachment of the Wagner PMC fought fierce battles with militants from the Coordination Movement of Azawad (CMA) and the al-Qaeda in the Sahel group (JNIM, a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in the vicinity of the settlement of Tin-Zoutin.

They fought together against the Russian mercenaries? I’m shocked.

Government troops and Wagner suffered heavy losses, the PMC reported.

Malian combat aircraft carried out retaliatory strikes on the location of a Tuareg group and foreign mercenaries in Tinhavatin. At least 40 militants were eliminated, up to 70 were wounded. On July 28, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Mali reported that the army was carrying out massive strikes on terrorist and smuggler concentration sites.

Terrorists from the CSP-DPA alliance of armed separatist groups in Mali were trained in Ukraine, the French newspaper Le Monde reported on August 2. A representative of the alliance told journalists that the militants also have ties to France and the United States.
