You Won’t Believe What The Opening Of Russian Embassy In Burkina Faso Means For Europe

Russia has not invested a lot of time or resources in Africa. Nonetheless, it is still progressing gradually in several countries. Its existence generates positive PR, defying Western attempts to isolate Russia. Russia has a turbulent history, that much is true.

Moscow is currently seizing possibilities that are aligned similarly in the Sahel. It has welcomed the military governments in Burkina Faso and Mali, offering them help with information operations, diplomatic backing, and security assistance.
