Ukraine’s Overreach In Africa: From Proxy War In Europe To Proxy Adventurism Abroad

Ukraine’s Overreach In Africa: From Proxy War In Europe To Proxy Adventurism Abroad

By Uriel Araujo

Reports suggest Ukrainian weapons and operatives are fuelling conflicts in Mali, Sudan, and Libya, in its push to “counter Russia”. While Kiev brands its outreach as “renaissance diplomacy,” critics warn of arms smuggling, terror links, and destabilization. Washington tolerates it thus far, but Africa may pay the price.

The conflict in Ukraine has largely been a Western proxy attrition war against Russia, as even notoriously pro-Western analysts will admit — and as Secretary of State Marco Rubio himself has. Kiev, heavily reliant on Western arms and financial transfers, has acted as the forward line of a larger geostrategic confrontation. Yet, the conflict’s spillover is no longer confined to Europe. Reports increasingly point to its shadowy operations in Africa, where it has allegedly assisted separatists and possibly even terrorist-designated groups. This raises the question: is Ukraine overreaching?

In yet another underreported development, Moscow has recently claimed that Kiev is using its embassies to support armed groups not only in Mali, but also in Sudan (a claim echoed by the Sudanese Foreign Ministry), plus the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and even supplying drones to Libya. Ukraine, predictably enough, dismisses these allegations. Jenny Mathers (an Aberystwyth University’s Senior lecturer in international politics), in a more cautious register, notes that the country is “struggling to challenge Russia” in the African continent, even as it expands its diplomatic footprint.

The evidence is not merely speculative. Back in October 2024, Le Monde Afrique reported that Ukrainian drones had provided support for northern Mali’s rebels, including Tuareg separatists, in their clashes with Bamako and Wagner forces. Kiev itself boasted about backing Tuareg fighters after they ambushed Russian forces in the summer of 2024, which in itself confirms part of Moscow’s accusations. Thus far, the Western press has largely been reluctant to dwell on this, preferring to cast Ukraine’s African policy in a more benign light.

After 2022, Kiev in fact announced what it styled the “Ukrainian-African Renaissance” policy, an effort to counter Moscow’s traditional influence on the continent. Last year, Ukrainian diplomat Dmytro Kuleba stressed again his country’s “struggle” to reduce the “grip” of the Kremlin on Africa, supposedly based on “corruption”.

Moscow in fact has maintained strong ties with African nations since Soviet times, often through military training, arms deals, and ideological solidarity. Today, those ties are pragmatically reinforced by BRICS developments (including its New Development Bank), by Russian funding of infrastructure projects, new energy partnerships, and South-South cooperation.

Ukraine, by contrast, arrived late to the African theatre, and has scrambled to open embassies in Mauritania, Rwanda, and elsewhere.

The Eastern European nation’s strategy rests on three pillars. First, the “Grain from Ukraine” initiative, which delivers food aid. Second, military-to-military cooperation, including special operations training with governments in Mauritania and Sudan. And third, intelligence and arms transfers to actors hostile to Russian-backed forces. According to James Horncastle (an Edward and Emily McWhinney Professor in International Relations), Ukraine’s special operations abroad must be seen as part of its broader war effort against Russia.

The country’s arms are also reportedly flowing into Sudan’s civil war, and it would not be too far-fetched to speculate about a smuggling factor as well, since a significant part of Western weapons sent for Ukraine have notoriously ended up in black markets internationally, with arm’s trafficking on the rise.

Be as it may, such interventions raise the spectre of Ukraine acting as a Western proxy on Africa to its own detriment. Journalist  Tafi Mhaka warned, already in 2024, that the country was “losing the plot” in the continent, by overstretching its limited resources while risking diplomatic blowback. Indeed, Niger and Mali both severed diplomatic relations with Kiev after evidence emerged of Ukrainian involvement with rebel forces.

On the one hand, Ukraine’s government is desperate to diversify its partnerships and establish itself as a “global player.” On the other, Washington and certain European powers may find it useful to encourage Kiev’s endeavours in the region as a way to counter Russia’s presence there without Western troops on the ground.

This logic fits a familiar Cold War playbook: using proxies to destabilize adversaries in third regions. The CIA’s history of cultivating relationships with insurgents and covert networks in the continent is well documented. It is no wonder, then, that Ukraine’s newfound role is quietly tolerated by Washington. Moscow, for its part, has claimed to have shared intelligence on this with African governments. Libya for one thing is currently investigating Kiev’s alleged  smuggling of drones into its territory through Algeria.

In any case, there are limits to what Ukraine can realistically achieve. Its armed forces are already stretched thin at home. Its economy is fragile, dependent on Western largesse. Moreover, its diplomatic credibility is not strong enough to withstand the accusation of abetting terrorism in Africa.

As I’ve written, its ultra-nationalism and far-right issue has caused enough reputation damage, even with neighbouring nations. The post-Soviet border situation is complex enough, but by dabbling in separatist politics abroad, Kiev risks undermining its own diplomatic narratives pertaining to territorial integrity.

In June, while eyeing mineral deals, Trump bragged, in his typical manner, about brokering peace between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. This is just one example of how much the African continent bears its own share of tensions.

By overextending itself and getting involved in complex geopolitical proxy conflicts involving various players (such as Turkey, the UAE, Egypt, Israel, and France) in Libya and elsewhere — not to mention Tuareg, Sudan, Mauritania, Mali etc. — Ukraine risks further destabilizing regions Washington itself seeks to keep “calm”. From a “tolerable” Western proxy it risks becoming, in the long run, a factor of instability even across the Mediterranean, the Black and Red Sea all the way to Africa.

Assessing Russia’s Claims That Ukraine Is Responsible For Terrorism All Across Africa

Assessing Russia’s Claims That Ukraine Is Responsible For Terrorism All Across Africa

By Andrew Korybko

The US has the power to put a stop to this by threatening to cut Ukraine off if it refuses but won’t because it believes that this might become useful down the line.

RT recently published a report about late August’s claims by Deputy UN Representative Dmitry Polyansky and Director of the Officers Union for International Security Alexander Ivanov that Ukraine is responsible for terrorism all across Africa. According to them, its drone pilots assist terrorist-designated forces in Mali, Sudan, the Central African Republic (CAR), Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kiev has also supplied Libya with drones for use in its civil war despite a Turkish prohibition.

Ukraine boasted about backing Tuareg separatists in Mali after they ambushed Wagner in summer 2024 so that part of Russia’s accusation is undeniable, which lends credence to claims that they’re also backing similar forces in the pro-Russian CAR, but questions arise about their role in Sudan and the DRC. Western media reported in early 2024 that Ukrainian special forces were contracted by Sudan’s UN-recognized government while Trump has bragged about brokering peace between the DRC and Rwanda.

It would therefore be a startling reversal for Ukraine to now militarily aid the Sudanese rebels, not to mention do anything that could risk plunging the DRC back into any sort of serious conflict and thus embarrassing Trump after how proud he was that his peace deal helped to finally stabilize it. Cynics might also suspect that Russia’s accusation that Ukraine’s diplomatic missions in Algeria, Mauritania, and the DRC are smuggling arms to groups in Libya, Mali, and the northeast DRC is meant to sow discord.

Nevertheless, there are compelling reasons to take these claims seriously, which will now be explained. Trump’s capriciousness might have prompted Ukraine to pursue non-Western business opportunities, including those that contradict US interests like in the DRC, as part of a backup plan in case the US one day cuts it off or at least significantly curtails financial-military aid. It’ll likely comply with US demands to abandon them if they’re made, but thus far, the US seemingly doesn’t have a problem with any of this.

In fact, Trump might even support Zelensky’s “entrepreneurialism” in principle, especially if his advisors inform him that Ukraine’s newfound strategic role in Africa could potentially be leveraged by the US for “plausibly deniable” divide-and-rule purposes in certain future scenarios. As for Ukrainian diplomatic missions’ alleged role in smuggling arms from Algeria and Mauritania to Libya and Mali, Russia might have tipped off the host governments sometime back but wasn’t satisfied with their response.

RT mentioned that Mauritania’s nonchalance towards this claim might be due to it simply being unaware of Ukraine’s activities on its soil while praising Algeria for investigating this matter. It’s also possible that Russia either suspects those two of facilitating Ukraine’s activities, or might even have proof of this, but is giving them a “face-saving” way to end everything by solely blaming Ukraine’s diplomatic missions. Algeria’s investigation might therefore be meant to improve recently troubled ties with Russia over Mali.

Returning to the substance of Russia’s claims, it can therefore be assessed that they’re all likely true, though it’s also possible that some aspects might be revealed to be slightly inaccurate or exaggerated. In any case, the point is that Ukraine has indeed increasingly involved itself in terrorism all across Africa, but to different extents in each instance. The US has the power to put a stop to this by threatening to cut Ukraine off if it refuses but won’t because it believes that this might become useful down the line.
