At the end of December 2021, director of the Department of International Organizations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Peter Illichiv, said that the care of the French troops from Mali will lead to an increase in terrorist activity, which will not be able to cope with the joint forces of the Sachel five, which includes Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Mali, Niger and Chad.
