EXCLUSIVE: Videos Show Ukrainian Special Forces ‘Cleaning Up’ Wagner Fighters in Sudan

Kyiv Post has exclusively obtained two videos purporting to show Ukrainian special forces operators hunting mercenaries employed by the Kremlin’s Wagner Group in Sudan. According to a source in Ukraine’s security and defense sector, an operation is currently ongoing to “clean up the Wagner PMC, their local terrorists and the Russian Federation's special services” in the African country. Speaking to Kyiv Post, the source added: “The footage probably shows the work of special units of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (HUR).” He declined to give details citing security concerns. The source said the footage had been filmed “in the last two weeks”, in an unnamed Sudanese urban location. Kyiv Post has not independently verified either video. The first video in black and white appears to have been filmed at night by a drone using infrared imaging. A small unit of men surround a compound and targets within are highlighted in the video. In one set of images, an attacker uses a hand-held rocket launcher to fire into a building window.

A number of explosions then follow with the footage switching between infrared night camera and regular views lit by explosion flashes. Some of the men in the building begin to fire back while others can be seen trying to escape. The second video is shot during the day, also from an aircraft hovering at 200-400 meters above the ground. No Ukrainian operatives are shown but a number of men who appear to be targets run through the streets of a densely-populated town or small village.
