KYIV (Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that Ukrainian forces had anticipated Moscow's counteroffensive in the Russian region of Kursk, his first comments on the pushback this week more than a month after Ukraine's cross-border incursion. Ukraine's troops captured an enclave of western Russian territory in a surprise raid that began in early August, a move aimed at wresting the battlefield initiative from Russia including by diverting Moscow's forces from the eastern front. Its forces made rapid initial gains before stalling, while the situation around the eastern Ukrainian town of Pokrovsk, which has been the focus of Russia's main offensive operations in recent weeks, remained perilous.

They captured Kidal, the northern town in Mali, last year with no fight actually, so they underestimated the quality of the Tuareg fighters that they were facing.":: Near Tinzaouaten, MaliNow, through a combination of publicly available information, interviews with relatives and facial recognition software, Reuters has identified 23 fighters missing in action and two now held in Tuareg captivity.Among them are veterans who had toured in Ukraine, Libya and Syria.Several had survived the siege of Bakhmut in Ukraine, which Wagner's late founder Yevgeny Prigozhin called a "meat grinder." :: PMC Wagner via Telegram:: FileAfter Prigozhin died in August last year, Wagner employees were invited to join a new group.:: Bangui, Central African Republic:: FileIn the Africa Corps, under the defense ministry, recruits could, quote, "fight for justice and the interests of Russia."Wagner's enterprises on the continent have previously involved protecting coup leaders, fighting jihadists and gold mining.Ladd Serwat, an Africa specialist at the U.S.-based Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, said civilian fatalities since Wagner formally became Africa Corps have been "incredibly high.""Those have escalated in Mali beyond those that we saw under the leadership of Prigozhin's.":: Niamey, Niger:: FileACLED data shows violent events linked to Russian mercenaries rose 81% and reported civilian fatalities rose 65% over the past year, compared to the year before Prigozhin's death.Czerep says Africa Corps has also conducted a "massive" recruitment drive."And that created this feeling that this was the best opportunity that mercenaries have to be on the safe side, to earn some money, and also to experience this tropical adventure. It may be ironic, but it seems like it's a holiday type of experience.":: FileTuareg rebels, who are fighting for an independent homeland, say they killed 84 Russians and 47 members of Mali's armed forces in the Battle of Tinzaouaten.Grisly footage of dead fighters has since circulated online.Some relatives say the bodies of their husbands and sons have been abandoned in the desert.Lyubov Bazhenova said she was angry with Wagner for sharing no information about the fate of her son Vladimir Akimov, or the whereabouts of his body.Margarita Goncharova said her son, Vadim Evsiukov had served in Ukraine, but had struggled with survivor's guilt and secretly travelled to Africa in April to join his former commander.One of the most experienced men was Alexander Lazarev, who served in wars against Chechen separatists in the 1990s and 2000s according to his wife's posts in a Wagner channel on the social media app Telegram.:: Tabankort, Mali:: FileWagner has acknowledged heavy losses in the Mali ambush but gave no figure. The Malian army also did not give a death toll. The Russian Ministry of Defense, Foreign Ministry and Wagner, did not respond to requests for comment for this story.A spokesman for the Tuareg rebels said their aim is not to harm anyone and that they don't have a problem with Russia, but that it is Russia that has "invited itself into problems that don't concern it."
