@Chomik: can you pick a hook that's more definitive? "Likely" sounds ambiguous and usually requires attribution.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 14:07, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Vice regent: most sources agree that this was the Wagner Group's biggest loss in Mali ([1] [2] [3]) but I'm not sure if it would be acceptable to remove the word "likely" since there's no confirmed death toll. If not, I could change the hook to be about Ukraine's involvement. Chomik! (talk?) 14:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

If the toll is not confirmed best not to use it as a hook. Ukraine's involvement does sound more interesting.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 16:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

@Vice regent: added an alt hook about Ukraine. Chomik! (talk?) 17:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
