Mali rebels offer to hand over captured Wagnerites to Ukraine

According to Ukrinform, this is stated in a post by a representative of the CSP-PSD on the social network X.

"We, the armed forces of the CSP-DPA, want to express our solidarity with your fight against Russian criminals. We have captured a significant number of Wagner mercenaries and would like to hand over these prisoners to you as a sign of support and solidarity. This gesture is aimed at helping you in your struggle for justice and freedom," the statement said.

The group hopes that this step will help strengthen "our ties and our common victory".

Earlier today it became known that rebels of an association of armed groups in the north of Mali, inhabited mainly by Tuareg, announced the killing of dozens of soldiers of the Malian Armed Forces and Russian mercenaries from the Wagner PMC in a clash near the border with Algeria.

As reported, after a military coup in May 2021, Mali has been ruled by a military junta that maintains close ties with Russia and uses the services of mercenaries from the Wagner PMC controlled by the Russian special services.
