Against the backdrop of weakening positions of russia and its proxies on the African continent, enemy intelligence services are preparing another information operation aimed at our country. In particular, the Kremlin will try to accuse Ukrainian special forces of allegedly using foreign weapons during the fighting in the Republic of Sudan
It is noted that russian propagandists are planning to publish in the media, in particular in Libyan media, paid publications and fabricated pictures of "trophy" weapons of American origin, previously captured by mercenaries of the so-called Wagner PMC during the war in Ukraine.
The purpose of such publications is to discredit Ukraine and its partners; to accuse Western allies of uncontrolled arms trafficking involving Ukraine. The Kremlin will also try to emphasize that elite Ukrainian special forces are taking part in combat operations in Africa while russia is waging a genocidal war in Ukraine itself
The intelligence service said that the necessary photographic materials were manufactured in Belarus.
We emphasize that Ukraine and its Defense Forces continue to act exclusively within the framework of international law and the UN Charter, respecting the sovereignty of all countries and have no involvement in any illegal actions related to illicit arms trafficking
