◼️ On April 25, armed anti-government groups committed a series of coordinated attacks in the Malian capital and the neighbouring regions – Mopti, Gao and Kidal.
Two hundred and fifty militants attacked Bamako Senou International Airport and the military base located nearby.
The Malian Armed Forces repelled the attack and are currently taking further steps to eliminate the militia that may have been, reportedly, trained by Western security agencies.
Russia is deeply concerned about these developments. This terrorist activity poses a direct threat to the stability of friendly #Mali and could have the most serious consequences for the entire region.
According to the Russian Embassy in Bamako, no victims among Russian nationals have been reported to date. The Russian diplomatic mission maintains continuous contact with Mali’s competent agencies.
❗️ The Russian Foreign Ministry advises Russian citizens against travelling to Mali. Those already in the country should take all necessary precautions.
Moscow will continue to monitor the developments closely.

⚡️ Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on Russia’s response to EU’s 20th package of sanctions (April 27, 2026)
The EU continues its attempts to exert pressure on our country by expanding unilateral restrictive measures. Another sanctions “package” – the 20th to date – was approved by the Council of the EU on April 23.
☝️ Such actions by Brussels, taken bypassing the UN Security Council, grossly violate international law.
In response to EU’s unlawful decisions, the Russian Side has significantly expanded the list of representatives of EU institutions, EU member states, and a number of European countries aligning themselves with Brussels’ anti-Russian policy who are denied entry to the Russian Federation in accordance with Federal Law No. 114-FZ of August 15, 1996, On the Procedure for Exit from the Russian Federation and Entry into the Russian Federation
The list includes representatives of EU entities, EU member states and several other European countries
• involved in decisions to provide military assistance to Ukraine;
• engaged in activities aimed at undermining the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation;
• responsible for imposing anti-Russia sanctions;
• damaging Russia’s relations with third countries;
• creating obstacles to maritime shipping in the interests of our country;
• involved in the persecution of Russian officials under far-fetched pretexts;
• establishing a “tribunal” against the Russian leadership;
• advocating the illegal seizure of Russian state assets or the use of profits generated from them.
Our restrictive measures have also been imposed on civil society leaders and members of the academic community from European countries who maintain hostile positions towards Russia, as well as members of national parliaments of EU member states and the European Parliament who voted in favour of anti-Russia resolutions and bills.
❗️ Brussels’ destructive policy is incapable of having any impact on our country’s foreign policy course.
Russia has been and remains committed to defending its national interests, safeguarding the rights and freedoms of its citizens, and consistently contributing to the formation of a just multipolar world order.

📑 The Quarterly report on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime in January-March 2026, prepared by Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik, has been published.
***
Over 2025, the situation with the crimes committed by Ukrainian militants against civilians has significantly deteriorated.
Compared with the same period in 2025, the number of civilian casualties increased by 236 in the first quarter of 2026.
The Kiev regime is directing ever greater efforts and Western-supplied resources specifically towards committing war crimes against civilians in an attempt to undermine the country’s civilian economy and influence Russia’s domestic political agenda.
From January 1 to March 31, attacks by Ukrainian armed formations affected 1,725 civilians: 1,459 people were wounded and 266 were killed.
▪️ Over the past 90 days, 71 minors were wounded and another 7 were killed as a result of war crimes committed by the AFU. Children fell victim to deliberate attacks on educational institutions, residential buildings and vehicles. They were also killed and injured by remote mining of roads and public areas in residential districts and around settlements.
❗️ Since February 2022, the actions of Ukrainian militants have left at least 24,872 civilians killed or injured: no fewer than 19,861 people have been wounded, including 1,153 minors. A total of 8,011 people have been killed, including 243 minors.
Cynically disregarding international humanitarian law, militants have widely resorted to terrorist tactics, including follow-up strikes designed to obstruct rescue vehicles and target medical and civilian services attempting to assist the victims.
Compared to the same period in 2025, the number of strikes on civilian sites on Russian territory doubled in 2026, with Kiev’s armed formations firing no fewer than 43,772 munitions of various types.
❌ Following the Russian Army's liberation of the territories in the DPR, Zaporozhye and Kharkov Regions, numerous surviving civilians stepped forward and testified to “total cleansing operations” carried out by the Kiev regime in the areas it was abandoning.
To date, the Investigative Committee of Russia has opened 9,536 criminal cases concerning crimes committed by the Kiev regime. Russian courts have already delivered 849 guilty verdicts against 1,118 individuals, including militants from the Azov unit, Ukraine’s national guard and armed forces, as well as various mercenary formations.
