A video of supposedly Ukrainian Special Forces fighting with mercenaries of the Wagner PMC in one of the Sudanese cities is spreading online.
The Kyiv Post published the video on its YouTube channel.
The video shows special forces walking the streets of a Sudanese city and destroying mercenaries from the Wagner PMC with firearms and grenade launchers.
This is not the first time that Ukrainian Special Forces have been used in Sudan to fight Russian mercenaries. Back in September 2023, CNN reported on the destruction of a Wagner PMC camp with the involvement of Ukrainian special services personnel and drones.
CNN cited a conversation with a Ukrainian military source who described the operation as the work of “non-Sudanese military.” When asked if Ukraine was behind the attacks, the source only said that “the responsibility is probably on the Ukrainian special services.”
According to journalists, the operation was partially carried out on the ground and included a series of drone attacks on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group supported by Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group in its fight to control the country from the Sudanese army.
In addition, on October 6, 2023, Militarnyi reported that new evidence of the involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services in the war in Sudan against Russian mercenaries of the PMC Wagner emerged.
The presence of Ukrainian security forces in the war in Sudan was confirmed by sources in intelligence circles. As confirmation, they provided videos with footage of the battles.
The footage shows the work of snipers, FPV drone attacks, and fire contact with the enemy. Other details of the operation have not yet been disclosed.
According to Western media reports, Ukraine’s interests in Sudan are linked to a long history of doing business with local companies.
Experts claim that the 3,000-strong Wagner PMC camp is located in Sudan, which helps support the activities of the Rapid Support Forces as part of a paramilitary organization that opposes the current government in the country.

In addition, Russian mercenaries organized the delivery of weapons to the pro-government Janjaweed militia through their border base with Chad.
What are we doing in the Sudan???
I’d figure that Ukraine would first cleanse the country of the filth, currently polluting the country, before doing extracurricular activities such as this.
What are we doing in the Sudan???
KILLING NAZIS.
if wagner plans to plunder certain natural resources like gold from africa to either self-finance or refinance russia’s war then that is perhaps an avenue of understanding…
Wagner’s influence harms Ukraine directly or indirectly:
– Wagner is also disinformation, which harms Ukraine, and Westerners in general. it also seems to me that for a good part of the world, Ukraine is seen a bit like a sessionist province of Russia… and that it needs to make itself better known abroad.
– African chaos will lead to migrations, which will put pressure on Europe, and which will give rise to far-right movements, on which Putin relies, to explode the EU from within.
it seems to me that we saw the Ukrainians there, after the coup in Niger, when reestablishing democratic power was considered/in mind… but the US did not send signals of ” aircraft carrier”, the French could not do it alone without being accused of being settlers, the African coalition collapsed, the EU turned a blind eye, so we gave space to Wagner, to the djiadstes,, to the smoldering fire… at first it plays into the hands of the autocrats. time will tell if it was a good calculation…
quick answer: kill Nazis! 🙂 😉
I appreciate your lengthy thoughts on this, Monsieur lorangebleue, but there are more than enough Nazis to kill in Ukraine.
Be it as it may, it seems that the powers to be in Kyiv consider it worth it, for whatever reason.
