Mali-Ukraine relations are the bilateral relations between Mali and Ukraine. They have remained hostile after the government of Mali decided to cut diplomatic ties with Ukraine, claiming that the country provided intelligence to Tuareg rebels.
History
[edit]On January 5, 1992, Mali offcially recognized Ukrainian independence, and later established diplomatic relations on November 5, 1992.[1]
The interests of Ukrainian citizens in the Republic of Mali are protected by the Ukrainian Embassy in Algiers.[2]
In 2023, the interim president of Mali, Assimi Goïta, expressed support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3]
On August 4, 2024, Mali severed diplomatic relations with Ukraine after a senior Ukrainian official supposedly admitted Kyiv's "involvement" in the Battle of Tinzaouaten, where the Malian Armed Forces and Russia's Wagner Group suffered heavy defeat.[4][5][6]
Economic
[edit]In January 2022, Ukrainian exports to Mali were valued at $1.3 million USD.[7]
