CNN: Ukrainian special services could have attacked Wagner PMC in Sudan
As evidence, they cite the fact that the controller used to control the drone shows text in Ukrainian
CNN claims that the drone attacks on Wagner PMC forces in Sudan were probably organized by Ukrainians.
The journalists studied video footage of drone bombings in several locations near the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. The footage shown in the media company's material shows two such attacks: on a car standing near a building and on a jeep with armed men traveling on the road.
CNN notes that it has not been able to obtain independent confirmation that Ukraine is involved in these attacks. In support of their conclusions, the journalists mention that the controller used to control the drone shows text in Ukrainian.
The tactic of hovering a drone with explosives directly above the target is also unusual for Africa.
The Ukrainian intelligence services did not answer the question whether Ukrainians were really behind the operations. Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate, said that the intelligence service could neither confirm nor deny this information. But he added that Russia is losing ground around the world.
Background. Earlier, the WSJ wrote that Prigozhin was trying to protect his business in Africa from GRU encroachment before his death. The crash of Prigozhin's plane is connected with the competition for Africa, according to Khristo Grozev.
