Wagner Nightmare Returns for Ukraine? Putin Pulls Fighters from Africa as Kursk Becomes Top Priority
Ukraine's cross-border incursion into Russia's Kursk region has forced Russian mercenaries in junta-led Burkina Faso to withdraw, impacting their operations.
Viktor Yermolaev, commander of the Medvedi (Bears) unit, confirmed that many fighters returned to Russia to bolster Moscow's defenses, while some remained in West Africa.
This move disrupts the activities of mercenary groups like the Bear Brigade, which, along with the now-defunct Wagner Group, are seen as closely tied to the Russian state.
G7 allies will discuss further sanctions on Russia if Vladimir Putin does not agree to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine, Sir Keir Starmer has said. Sky News

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham tore into Russian President Vladimir Putin for backing Iran after Israel's massive retaliatory strikes, calling Moscow's legal advice on warfare "rich even for the Russians." Putin condemned Israel's actions and spoke with both Iran and Israel, pushing diplomacy. Graham accused Russia of invading Ukraine barbarically and warned India and China: keep aiding Putin, and you'll regret it. As explosions shook Tel Aviv and missiles rained down, the geopolitical crisis deepened, with Russia pledging closer contact with both sides amid a regional flashpoint.

Russia claims President Vladimir Putin narrowly escaped a Ukrainian drone strike during his visit to the Kursk region on May 20. According to Air Defence Commander Yuriy Dashkin, Putin’s helicopter was in the "epicentre" of a large-scale drone attack, with one drone shot down near his flight path.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited the Russian Embassy in Pyongyang to honor Soviet soldiers, marking 80 years since Nazi Germany's defeat. Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” in Europe. He accused Ukrainian forces of invading Russia and confirmed that DPRK troops helped defend the Kursk region. Under a 2024 treaty with Russia, Kim warned that North Korea may intervene again militarily if Western-backed assaults continue.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the UK of playing a direct role in Ukraine’s alleged terrorist attacks inside Russia. Speaking at the 'Forum of the Future 2050' in Moscow, Lavrov said Ukraine would be “helpless” without British assistance, citing deadly sabotage incidents and coordinated drone strikes across Russian territory. Lavrov claimed the U.S. has pulled back, leaving Britain “100%” involved. The UK has declined to comment on operational matters, while Moscow’s ambassador to London also pointed to UK-supplied geospatial data as key to recent attacks.
