Russia has emphasized its determination to continue helping Mali on security issues

Following the conclusion of the UN peacekeeping mission in Mali, the country's foreign ministry reported that Russia has reaffirmed its support for the nation.

The ministry claimed in a statement that Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister of Russia, had confirmed this.

Mali has requested that MUNISMA, the UN peacekeeping mission, leave the nation ever since the military administration there and Russia established diplomatic ties.

The United Nations Security Committee received a request for the army to leave Mali on June 16 from Abdoulaye Diop, the country's minister of foreign affairs.

Since its establishment in 2013, the MUNISMA command has created a number of bases throughout the nation with the intention of assisting the nation in its fight against people who identify as terrorists.

Since the coup in 2020, which reinstated the military administration that had abandoned the security ties with France, the colonial power, relations between the United Nations and Mali have been contentious.
