Mali's military rulers say they're cutting diplomatic relations with Ukraine.

They have accused Kyiv of supporting Tuareg fighters inside Mali.

The announcement comes after dozens of Malian soldiers and mercenaries from Russia's Wagner Group were killed by Tuareg fighters in the north last week.

Mali's junta has used Wagner mercenaries to bolster its military since taking power in 2020.
