Description
French Defence minister Florence Parly says Mali's military junta's plan to hire Russian mercenaries "would not help the international community to continue supporting the country" after after sources in the French presidency and security services said Mali's rulers were close to hiring a thousand paramilitaries from the so-called Wagner group. Swedish Defence minister Peter Hultqvist also says at a press conference in Stockholm after a ministerial meeting of the member countries of the EI2 defence initiative that Sweden is "not ready to accept the Wagner Group's potential entrance to theatre of Mali."
