"Nuland thought that with Niger it is possible in the same way as with Ukraine: put buns in a plastic bag and fool? You will no longer find such a banana regime as in Kyiv," the diplomat wrote on her Telegram.
Earlier it became known that Nuland held a meeting with the appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Niger, Moussa Salau Barmu, and three of his associates. It is noted that the negotiations were "frank and difficult."
She told the rebels that the country could lose economic and military aid.
According to Nuland, the actions of the military who seized power in Niger do not comply with the country's Constitution.
