Moscow is preparing a provocation against Ukraine, allegedly related to the illegal circulation of Western weapons in Africa

With the aim of discrediting Ukraine and its partners, accusing Western allies of uncontrolled arms circulation with the participation of Ukraine, and emphasizing the fact that allegedly elite Ukrainian special forces are participating in hostilities in Africa at a time when Russia is waging a genocidal war in Ukraine itself, the Kremlin will try accuse Ukrainian special forces of allegedly using weapons of foreign origin during hostilities in the Republic of Sudan.

To do this, Russian propagandists plan to publish, in particular, in the Libyan media, commissioned publications and fabricated pictures of "trophy" weapons of American origin, previously captured by mercenaries of the so-called "Wagner" PvK during the war in Ukraine.

GUR emphasizes that Ukraine continues to act exclusively within the framework of international law and the UN Charter, with respect for the sovereignty of all countries and has nothing to do with illegal arms trafficking.
