Ukraine is said to have provided intelligence which led to deadly attacks by insurgents on Russian mercenaries in the West African nation of Mali. FYI: Tinzaouaten, the city closest to the attacks in Mali, is 2,440 miles/3,928 km from Ukraine's port city of Odesa.

Ukraine’s military intelligence agency has claimed it was involved in an ambush that killed fighters from Russia’s Wagner group in the west African nation of Mali, thousands of miles away from the frontline in Ukraine. A Telegram channel linked to the Wagner leadership on Monday admitted the group had suffered heavy losses during fighting in Mali last week. It said Wagner and the Malian armed forces had “fought fierce battles” over a five-day period against a coalition of Tuareg separatist forces and jihadi groups, who had used heavy weapons, drones and suicide bombers. Numerous Wagner fighters, including a commander, Sergei Shevchenko, were killed, the channel said. Andrii Yusov, spokesman for Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency, said on Monday that “the rebels received necessary information, and not just information, which enabled a successful military operation against Russian war criminals”. Yusov did not say whether Ukrainian military personnel were involved in the fighting or were present in the country. He said the agency “won’t discuss the details at the moment, but there will be more to come”. The Mali government, which has been fighting various insurgencies in the north of the country for more than a decade, requested help from Wagner after a military junta took power in 2020.

The Wagner Group is still around but under new management since Putin killed off its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin.

So why is Russia in Africa?

The group is also active across Africa, and continues to be so even after Prigozhin was disgraced following a failed coup attempt last summer. He later died after an explosion onboard his plane, widely believed to have been ordered by the Kremlin, but Wagner’s influence in Africa remains. “For Moscow, the African countries where Wagner is present is just a zone of interest that allows it to get hold of resources – gold, diamonds, gas and oil – and the money goes to finance Russian aggression,” said Serhii Kuzan, director of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Center in Kyiv, explaining why Ukraine might want to target Wagner in Africa. He added that the raids had additional benefits for Kyiv: “liquidating” some of the most experienced Wagner fighters and lowering the overall military potential of the group, and also exacting revenge for war crimes in Ukraine. “A significant part of the destroyed fighters got military experience in Ukraine, where they carried out hundreds or thousands of war crimes … these crimes should be punished, and Russian war criminals should know that they will never be safe,” said Kuzan.

Ukrainian intelligence has a long reach and Ukraine has a long memory for war crimes committed by the invaders.

On a linguistic note, GUR should realistically be written HUR. The full name of Ukrainian military intelligence is: Головне Управління Розвідки Міністерства Оборони України (Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine). For short, that's Головне Управління Розвідки.

In Russian, Г is pronounced like the English hard G. In Ukrainian, Г is pronounced like a regular English H. There's a separate letter in Ukrainian for English hard G written like this Ґ. But the Soviet Union tried to suppress this letter because its existence was another reminder that Ukrainian is not Russian. So there's been some lingering alphabetic confusion over the use of this letter. But I promise you that it is preferable to transliterate ГУР as HUR.

Vladimir Putin is more knowledgeable about history than Benjamin Netanyahu and is less of a nuisance to me.

I just needed to put this out in the open. Putin compared Yevgeny Prigozhin's civil war back in June to the Bolshevik Revolution, meaning he criticized a part of Russian history. He also understands that each country has their defaults. Netanyahu doesn't have this attitude. Netanyahu was born in 1949, while Putin was born in 1952.

This meme requires some familiarity with Game of Thrones.

Without any major spoilers, let’s just say that The Golden Company was a disappointment as mercenaries.

Considering how poorly Russia's military has performed, The Golden Company might be an improvement for Putin.

Мен момент

«Психанул». Согласно расследованию издания «Проект», именно так Евгений Пригожин объяснил причину своего недавнего военного мятежа. Ну да, бывает. Нам долго с опорой на гендерные стереотипы рассказывали, что мужчины предпочтительны во власти, потому что более стабильны, психологически устойчивы, не позволяют эмоциям и чувствам себя захлестнуть. Но, судя по истории человечества и событиям в современном мире, почти всё время что-то у них идёт не так.

This past week's news has been a pretty golden week for all kinds of rough chuckles. (Related, over the past 24 hours: Привет, я Евгений Викторович Пригожин, а это Джекэсс. )

During the coup attempt (or whatever you want to call it) when Prigozhin's Wagner forces got within 270 km of the Kremlin, all we saw of Putin was a short prerecorded speech which was filmed at an undetermined location.

When genocidal Russian invaders were within 27 km of the government district in Kyiv at the start of the war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other high ranking officials let Ukrainians know that they were remaining in town to defend the country.

Totalitarian bullies like to talk tough but they scurry away like cockroaches at the slightest sign of danger. We remember Trump hiding in the White House bunker during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in 2020.

Several of Putin's oligarch buddies couldn't get out of Russia fast enough during the mutiny.

Ты не умер в Пальмире, не погиб на Донбассе, Террористов ты бил, защищая гражданских.

Мы "Игил" истоптали и "Аль-Каиду" бомбили, А тебе ведь за это смертью грозили.

Ты герой ��ля всех и кумир молодёжи, А имя твоё - Евгений Пригожин!

No moriste en Palmira, no moriste en Donbass, Vences a los terroristas mientras defiendes. civil

Pisoteamos a ISIS y Al Qaeda bombardeado Pero te amenazaron de muerte por esto.

Eres un héroe para todos y un ídolo de la juventud, ¡Y tu nombre es Evgeniy Prigozhin!
