Not just money, there's a risk that if Wagner is successful there, they could start recruiting from there more soldiers to send to Ukraine.

And conversely, if the Russians are having trouble in Mali they might have to send more resources there. That means less for deployment to Ukraine.

Basically, it's all one big military. Hurt it where it's weakest and that pain is felt everywhere.
