Sweden plans to stop development aid to Mali after the country voted against the United Nations General Assembly resolution demanding withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, media reported.Over the past ten years, Sweden has reportedly allocated more than $352 million (3.5 billion Swedish kronor) for Mali's development. The decision to abolish development aid is part of the government's work to reform bilateral aid to African countries, the media said.Lately, Russia has intensified cooperation with countries in the Sahel region. In late August, leaders of Mali and Burkina Faso met with Russia's defense ministry official to discuss strengthening the defense and military cooperation. In December, Russia and Niger signed an agreement on reinforcing military partnership.
