A French outlet, Le Monde, reported in October 2024 that “Ukraine has been supplying military drones to Tuareg rebels operating in northern Mali.”
According to Le Monde, “light quadcopter drones were used in September and October to drop explosives on Russian camps at Goundam (twice) and Léré, creating casualties before returning to base.”
Ukraine also reportedly helps to train Tuareg rebel fighters.
The Tuaregs are engaged in a rebellion against Russia’s proxy authoritarian regime in Mali, which tries to defeat them with Russian military support.
