Russia is now officially offering to help France in it’s war against al-Qaeda in Mali.

MOSCOW, January 20 (RIA Novosti) – French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Moscow has offered its help to Paris in transporting French troops and supplies to crisis-hit Mali.

“The Russians have proposed to provide means of transport for the French,” Fabius said in the interview with Europe 1 radio on Sunday.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has not made official comment on the statement, which was made following Saturday’s phone conversation between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his French counterpart.

Good on Russia!
