The Washington Post dissects a series of confidential American documents leaked earlier this month. The documents reveal part of the behind-the-scenes of American espionage in these times of war in Ukraine.

They formally demonstrate that the American intelligence services infiltrated the Russian army, up to the military command. The objective of Russian military intelligence was also to spread in African media narratives unfavorable to Ukraine and its president, Volodymyr Zelensky. The Wagner group allegedly sought to buy Turkish weapons for shares in Mali.
