In Paris, they said that the withdrawal of troops from Africa is not connected with Prigozhin

The French Foreign Ministry said that the withdrawal of the republic’s military units from the territory of some African countries has nothing to do with the activities of the Russian PMC Wagner in this region.

“It is absolutely false information that the departure of French army units from some African countries is associated with the arrival of the Wagner group and Prigozhin there,” said Anne-Clair Legendre, spokeswoman for the French Foreign Ministry.

In an interview with RTVI, she also pointed out that “where Prigozhin came to Africa, corruption and collapse are rampant.”
