Russia Vs Ukraine War Update LIVE | Wagner Taking Advantage Of Niger Coup: Antony Blinken | News18
A deadly Russian attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk appeared to be designed to specifically target rescue workers and first responders, Ukrainian officials alleged Tuesday, a potential war crime.
Five civilians, an emergency worker and a service member were killed, said Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of Donetsk Regional Military Administration.
The bombardment began at 7:15 p.m. local time on Monday (12.15 p.m. ET), said Serhii Dobriak, a local military leader, when a short-range ballistic missile hit what President Volodymyr Zelensky called an “ordinary residential building” in the eastern Ukrainian city’s center.
Russia's Wagner mercenary group is "taking advantage" of instability in Niger, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The country has been ruled by a junta following the ousting of President Mohamed Bazoum nearly two weeks ago.
There have been suggestions the coup leaders have asked for help from Wagner, which is known to be present in neighbouring Mali. Mr Blinken said he did not think Russia or Wagner instigated Niger's coup. However the US was worried about the group "possibly manifesting itself" in parts of the Sahel region
"I think what happened, and what continues to happen in Niger was not instigated by Russia or by Wagner, but... they tried to take advantage of it.
"Every single place that this Wagner group has gone, death, destruction and exploitation have followed," said Mr Blinken. Insecurity has gone up, not down". He added that there was a "repeat of what's happened in other countries, where they brought nothing but bad things in their wake".
