Amid the weakening positions of Russia and its proxy forces on the African continent, hostile intelligence services are preparing another information special operation aimed at Ukraine.
Specifically, the Kremlin will attempt to accuse Ukrainian special forces of supposedly using foreign weapons during combat operations in the Republic of Sudan.
To achieve this, Russian propagandists plan to publish commissioned articles and fabricated images of "trophy" weapons of American origin, previously captured by mercenaries of the so-called Wagner PMC during the war in Ukraine, in the media, including Libyan outlets.
The goal of such publications is to discredit Ukraine and its partners, accusing Western allies of uncontrolled arms trafficking involving Ukraine.
Additionally, the Kremlin will try to draw attention to the fact that elite Ukrainian special units are involved in combat operations in Africa at a time when Russia is waging a genocidal war in Ukraine itself.
At the same time, due to religious holidays in the Muslim world, including in some African countries, Russian intelligence services were forced to fabricate the necessary photo materials on the territory of Belarus.
We emphasize that Ukraine and its Defense Forces continue to act strictly within the framework of international law and the UN Charter, respecting the sovereignty of all countries, and have no relation to any actions related to illegal arms trafficking.
