The European Union says it is stopping its military training missions in Mali but will keep a presence in the Sahel region where jihadist attacks have been spreading in recent years.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, says ministers had cited the presence of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group as one of the reasons for the decision not to continue training Malian troops.
France had earlier in February pulled troops out of Mali after a breakdown in relations with the ruling military junta that seized power last year.
