Russian President Vladimir Putin claims that Ukraine is fundamentally a part of Russia, asserting that the invasion signifies a return to essential historical truths.

Mali's military rulers announced the arrest of military and civilian personnel, including two generals and a French agent, accused of attempting to destabilize the country.

The country's transitional parliament approved the move on Thursday, clearing the way for Goita to lead Mali until at least 2030, without requiring an election.

Mali's armed forces killed 80 fighters in response to coordinated attacks on military posts, affirming significant losses for the enemy in engagements across several towns.

The deportees are among hundreds of West Africans who have been rounded up by Mauritanian security forces, detained, and sent over the border to Senegal and Mali in recent months.

"Political parties and organizations of a political nature are dissolved throughout the national territory," Nassire said. "It is forbidden for members of dissolved political parties and political organizations to hold any meetings."

Public anger at the military government was evident on May 3 when hundreds of people gathered in Bamako with defiant fists raised in protest.
