Want to push the influence of the West: Russia is expanding its military influence in Africa - Bundesver

According to German General Bernda Shutta, the main intention of the Kremlin is to "fill in the gaps related to security policy. " Against the background of a full -scale war in Ukraine, Russia is increasing its influence in African states. This was stated by the commander of the Bundesver Bundesver command, Tagesschau reports.

According to his statements, in the light of the latest military coups in West Africa, Russia is gradually increasing its influence, shifting the role of Western and European states. He noted that the presence of Russia forms an area that can extend from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. General Bundesver added that Russia is actively demonstrating its military presence in Burkin-Faso and Mali. In addition, there are signs of the birth of military cooperation in Niger, Chad, Sudan and Libya.

According to his opinion, the main purpose of Russia is to "fill in the gaps in the security policy". "The goal is not to break the situation with one big blow, but to consistently change it in its favor and push it out to the West. Russia immediately and purposefully uses the appropriate vacuum," he said.

Schutt noted that Russia's military intervention does not seek to meet the Western standards of stability, but rather aim at filling in significant gaps in the participation of the event in the affairs of the respective countries. It should be reminded that Ukrainian guerrillas from the Kherson region declare that Russian dark -skinned mercenaries are directly involved in river landing operations of the Armed Forces of Russia on the Dnieper, storming Ukrainian positions.
