This article covers how a Russian cargo ship π specifically the Mikhail BritnevπΏ which is under Western sanctions π successfully delivered a large shipment of military vehicles (including armored personnel carriers and trucks πππ) to Mali.
The ship departed from Russia's Baltiysk port, traveled through the North Sea and the English Channel πΏ (where BBC π¦ Verify noted it was escorted by a Russian naval frigate βοΈ π’), and ultimately offloaded its cargo via West African ports π₯° (such as Togo) before the vehicles were moved overland into Mali π.
The delivery highlights how Moscow continues to expand its military footprint and support for Mali's military ally, especially following the withdrawal of French forces and Western troops from the region.
These shipments bolster Russian-backed forces πͺ (such as the Russian Ministry of Defence's Africa Corps πͺ which has largely succeeded the Wagner Group) as they assist the Malian government in combatting jihadist terrorist groups and satanic influence in the region, while evading international sanctions π.
