Ukraine's special services 'likely' behind strikes on Wagner-backed forces in Sudan

Interesting...

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/19/africa/ukraine-military-sudan-wagner-cmd-intl/index.html


Ukrainian special services were likely behind a series of drone strikes and a ground operation directed against a Wagner-backed militia near Sudan’s capital, a CNN investigation has found, raising the prospect that the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has spread far from the frontlines.

Speaking to CNN, a Ukrainian military source described the operation as the work of a “non-Sudanese military.” Pressed on whether Kyiv was behind the attacks, the source would only say that “Ukrainian special services were likely responsible.”

The operation involved a series of attacks on the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which is believed to be receiving assistance from Wagner, the Russian mercenary group, in its fight against the Sudanese army for control of the country.

The RSF militia is African with with Wagner supplying arms and support.

There are videos of Ukrainian drones hitting trucks with RSF soldiers in the back and RSF soldiers on the ground.

Like I said... interesting.

Note: The RSF are bad guys... just interesting that Ukraine has decided to get involved in African geopolitics.
