Mali said it had learned “with deep shock” of the remarks and that Yusov had “admitted Ukraine’s involvement in a cowardly, treacherous and barbaric attack by armed terrorist groups that resulted in the death of members of the Malian Defence and Security Forces”.

Mali also cited comments by Ukraine’s Ambassador to Senegal Yurii Pyvovarov, who was summoned by Senegal on Saturday over a video published on Facebook in which Pyvovarov provided “unequivocal and unqualified support for the terrorist attack” in Mali.

Ukraine’s actions violated Malian sovereignty and constituted unacceptable foreign interference and support for international terrorism, according to Maiga.

You are hypocrite. You wouldn't accept it if it happened to you. US, UK and Israeli soldiers are guilty of far greater war crimes. So are Ukrainians soldiers who served during the US-led invasion of Iraq. If you want to make it a free for all, so be it. There's far more war criminals on your side, so you should be okay with greater "collateral damage" too.

December 11, 2008 - Ukrainians complete mission in Iraq

Russia has previously placed a bounty on US soldiers located anywhere in the world. The precedent was set long before this conflict, really back in the Cold War.

Now you tell me that all US troops and government officials are fair target?! So I can take out an entire 4th of July picnic if there are soldiers or politicians in attendance?

It is not just Russians who have grievances hundreds of millions of Arabs and Muslims have legitimate grievances too. You can't go and call it terrorism when it happens to you.
