Western tanks and military hardware captured by Russian forces in Ukraine went on display in Moscow at an exhibition the Russian military said showed Western help would not stop it from winning the war.
And this…
$100 million base, built by U.S. turned over to Russia.
Russian military personnel have entered an airbase in Niger that is hosting American troops, after a decision by Niger’s junta to expel US forces from the country.
The military officers ruling the west African country have told the US to withdraw its nearly 1,000 military personnel, which until a coup last year had been a key partner for Washington’s fight against insurgents who have killed thousands of people and displaced millions more.
A senior US defence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that Russian forces were not mingling with US troops but were using a separate hangar at Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani international airport in Niamey, Niger’s capital.
Russian troops are operating and living in same base as U.S. troops in Niger.
News from Africa: The Russian Wagner Forces have now entered the American base which currently holds 1k US soldiers. Niger has ordered the removal of all US troops and has given Russia control over the base. pic.twitter.com/TMYVAltj6i
