The following report is by Reuters:
Mali cut diplomatic ties with Ukraine in early August over comments by a spokesperson for Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, Andriy Yusov, about fighting in Mali’s north that killed Malian soldiers and mercenaries from the Russian Wagner group in late July. The military government of Niger followed suit days later in solidarity with its neighbour.
Yusov had said Malian “rebels” had received necessary information “to conduct a successful military operation”.
Mali and Niger interpreted Yusov’s comments as an admission of Ukraine’s direct involvement in the conflict, and accused it of supporting international terrorism as a result.
Ukraine has repeatedly called the allegations groundless and untrue. Its foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. The country is still locked in heavy fighting with Russia more than two years after Moscow’s invasion.
A Tuareg rebel alliance has also said it did not receive any Ukrainian support.
Both ethnic Tuareg separatists and jihadist insurgents operate in north Mali. The Tuareg said they had killed at least 84 Wagner mercenaries and 47 Malian soldiers over days of fierce fighting in July.
An al Qaeda affiliate separately said it had killed 50 Wagner mercenaries and 10 Malian soldiers in an ambush on one of those days.
In their letter to the Security Council, the foreign ministers of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso asked it to “take responsibility” for Ukraine’s actions and to prevent “subversive acts” that threaten regional and continental stability.
The letter’s text was posted on the Malian foreign ministry’s social media account. Diplomats said it was circulated to the 15-member Security Council on Tuesday evening.
Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have turned their backs on traditional Western and regional allies in favour of Russia since their juntas took power over the past four years.
The July attacks, which took place in Mali’s northern Kidal region near the border with Algeria, are potentially Wagner’s heaviest defeat since it stepped in two years ago to help the junta fight jihadist insurgents.
The ethnic Tuareg are a separate group who inhabit the Sahara region, including parts of northern Mali. Tuareg-led separatists launched a rebellion in 2012 that was pushed back into Mali’s arid north and later hijacked by Islamist militant groups.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
This letter will never be accepted. The useless tools at the UN have been directed to keep perpetuating that Ukraine is the symbol of “freedom and democracy,” and “evil Putin” is the next Hitler who needs to be stopped.
Nevertheless, Zelensky and the Ukrainian is indeed corrupt and are terrorists. Many of them, not all of course, but many are literal Neo-Nazis who have been terrorizing their own people. I have noted this in a number of reports:

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

At least those African nations have better sense and morals than the west and they know that Ukraine is indeed a terrorist nation.
The African people – especially African troops, they’re no fools, they know a terrorist and a neo-Nazi when they see one!
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Similar to America, having terror actors/foreign gangs running around.

11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
It’s on my to-do list of topics. Colorado is a mess.
Some would say that Putin and Zelenskyy are on the same side, Putin being controlled opposition.
