The United States imposed sanctions against the head of the Wagner group in Mali Ivan Maslov. About it writes BBC. According to the US, a group of Russian mercenaries could secretly receive military equipment for war in Ukraine through its operations in Mali and other African countries.

The US Ministry of Finance has stated that the Wagnets could try to buy mines, drones and radar equipment. The publication writes that Wagner's mercenaries work in some African countries, including small ones. They provide small assistance in the fight against Islamist rebels. Maslov is considered a key figure in Wagner PEC, which works with small officials.

In the US, it is believed that the activities of Maslov Wagnerivtsi can take advantage of a large influx of weapons to Mali, which the country collided after the death of the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. "The presence of a Wagner group on the African continent is a destabilizing force for any country that allows the group resources to be placed in their sovereign territory," the US Ministry of Finance said.

They also stated that the "Wagnerivtsi" were observed in large -scale human rights violations and the assignment of natural resources. On May 19, CNN told how Wagner PEC was buying a war for war in Ukraine. According to journalists, there are no signs that Wagner PEC managed to buy weapons and equipment. However, the mercenaries continue to buy mines, drones, as well as counter -battery systems through small ones.

Recall that Prigogine announced the release of the mercenaries of Wagner PEC from Bakhmut. According to "Putin's cook", the personnel servicemen of the Russian Federation will transfer positions, ammunition and dry soldering. The exit of the Wagnerists from Bakhmut must be made until June 1. In addition, ISW analysts have stated that DNR militants are replacing the Wagnerians in Bakhmut, and Avdiivka is again under fire.
