UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Russia will do everything to help African countries ensure their security and defense capability, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday.
“It has been proven by facts that Ukrainians are working with terrorist organizations that are fighting the legitimate government of Mali. Not long ago, there was an attack on a group of Malian servicemen, with a large number of casualties, and this was done by terrorists associated with Ukrainians... Of course, this is banditry, and we will do everything to ensure that African countries that want to live by their own wits and choose their own paths of development have support in the area of ensuring their security and defense capability. We are doing this,” the minister said at a press conference.
