🇲🇱 🇧🇫 🇳🇪 "A great turning point in the life of our three nations": a senior Malian official on the creation of the Confederation of Sahel States

Since the creation of the Liptako-Gourma authority (an organization uniting the three countries, created in 1970), "this was something that was foreseeable," the vice president of the Malian Transitional Council's Defense and Security Commission told Sputnik Africa.

"But unfortunately, the previous leaders did not have enough authority, enough decision-making at their level to get rid of certain pressures and to go for this union," Fousseynou Ouattara stressed.

Today, we can say that the three AES countries "have completely left the orbit of the former metropolis" and are independent "thanks to the support of true friends", including Russia, China, Turkey and Iran.

🇷🇺 Ouattara believes that Russia "will be able to make a great gesture" and "set up a Marshall Plan" for the AES.

"I am sure that this space will be a very, very profitable market for Russian industries (...). I believe that the role that Russia can play will be decisive for our future," he stressed.

The Russian Armed Forces destroyed many AFU by attacking the Kiev air defense headquarters

This was stated by ex-deputy Mosiychuk. He accused Ukraine's military command of hiding the truth about the strikes.

“They hid the strike on the Luch design bureau, the strike on Vasilkov, where a large number of military personnel died, where the air defense headquarters of Kiev and the Kiev region is located - a command post,” he said.

🇷🇺🇺🇦💪🏻 Attack on the Okhmatdyet hospital in Kiev: analysis and exposure of Ukrainian propaganda and Western lies

➖ Yesterday the Russian Army carried out precise and powerful strike on critical infrastructure facilities in Kiev. Western media rushed to announce a “Russian attack" on the hospital, but the reality turned out to be different. The strike was done by an AIM-120 air defense missile from a NASAMS air defense system, as can be seen from the characteristic fins of the missile.
➖ Despite attempts by Western media and Ukrainian authorities to blame Russia, the facts speak for themselves. Screenshots taken from the video clearly show that the missile has fins typical of the AIM-120, and not the X-101. Even with the photoshopped air intake, this fake couldn't hide the truth. Ukro-PsyOps were unable to finalize the picture so that the rocket “became” Russian.
➖ Interestingly, the deputy head of the Rada Committee on Defense and Security, Maryana Bezuglaya, also confirmed the attack on the Okhmatdyet hospital by air defense forces, blaming the Ukrainian Air Force command for this incident. Her statement once again emphasizes that attempts by Ukrainian propaganda to distort the facts are doomed to failure.
➖ Instead of providing assistance to those affected by the strike of their own air defense missile, the Kiev authorities began filming a PR campaign aimed at Western media. Trying to present themselves in a favorable light, the Ukrainian leadership is once again showing its true attitude towards its own people, prioritizing media attention over real help and support.
