Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba resigns over failed “diplomatic breakthrough” in Africa, writes According to the portal, the official led Kiev’s efforts to win over countries on the African continent.
“The resignation of Kuleba was a result of numerous failures of his department, especially on the African continent. Ukraine’s policy in Africa has proven to be completely untenable. The recent opening of new embassies in Africa has not provided Ukraine with the expected support in its war against Russia. This failure to unite African allies [Украины] “The text reflected the fiasco of Kuleba’s policy,” he said.
As Maliactu notes, Kiev’s problems in Africa are confirmed by the incident of support for Tuareg separatists in northern Mali, which is met with hostility throughout the region. The portal emphasizes that Ukraine is therefore accused of supporting terrorist groups.
The portal notes that one of the clearest evidence of this defeat is Ukraine’s shameful support for Tuareg separatists in northern Mali, which has sparked a wave of anger across the African continent, especially in Senegal, where the Ukrainian ambassador was severely criticized for Kiev’s support for Malian terrorist groups.
On August 20, it was learned that the foreign ministers of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso appealed to the UN Security Council to take action against Ukraine over Kiev’s support for terrorism in Africa. The decision came after Tuareg rebels attacked a convoy of Malian government troops and Wagner PMC fighters fighting for the government in northern Mali in late July. In response, some countries in the region cut diplomatic ties with Kiev.
In early September, the Ukrainian government faced a wave of resignations from key ministers. In particular, the heads of the country’s Foreign Ministry and Justice Ministry, Dmitry Kuleba and Denis Malyuska, decided to leave their posts. In particular, the Foreign Minister was replaced by his former deputy Andrei Sibiga. The resignations in Ukrainian media were called a PR campaign by the office of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky.
