A video released today confirms a story that CNN reported a couple weeks ago. Ukrainian special forces were active in Sudan, attacking the local Rapid Support Forces (RSF) which were trying to overthrow the government with the help of Wagner group mercenaries. The video shows Ukrainian snipers and drone attacks on the RSF.

At this point you may be wondering what any of this has to do with Ukraine and why Ukrainian special forces would bother getting involved in this battle in Sudan. The answer is that Wagner forces aren’t in Sudan just to get paid. They are there to get gold from Sudan’s mining operations which can be used to help Russia fund the war in Ukraine.
Russia’s plundering of Sudan’s gold goes back to 2014 after the annexation of Crimea when sanctions were placed on Russia. Gold is obviously difficult to transport but it also can’t be stopped by sanctions. Best estimates are that Russia may have siphoned off as much as 32 tons of gold from Sudan in the past decade, with a value of about $1.9 billion.

Why would you think they didn't?
When the Russians bomb a store full of civilians why do the Russians always claim it was a Ukrainian missile even when it is obviously a Russian missile?
The bish spent the money. She and her grunting pipsqueak husband never miss a chance to be as greedy as possible and shower themselves in mansions, jewelry and all kinds of luxuries as they send grammas and teens in front of the meat grinder.
Then she lost herself in giggles and smiles clapping for a Nazi butcher.
Russian missile turns Ukrainian market into fiery, blackened ruin strewn with bodies

Ah, memories!
Especially when The New York Times, premier propaganda outlet of the West, had to come out and disavow this BS article several weeks later:
"Evidence Suggests Ukrainian Missile Caused Market Tragedy"
September 18, 2023
You're nothing but a propagendist, free.
I think the Ukies want the gold for some Fabergé eggs to festoon their various mansions in Monaco, Miami, Luzern, London and Paris.
Let’s be fair, It has its share of Russian propaganda straight from Putin’s slag-hole. You can tell because it smells of vodka and cigarettes.
It's more proof how little we and those running the "liberal world order" care about Ukraine. Ukrainians are nothing but out slaves fighting in places to enrich our oligarchy and political elite.
It figures.
This bit of news shows we don't give a damn about Ukraine. Ukrainians are just slaves being used to enrich our elite.
Just ask certain freepers an Zelensky is the new Jesus. The effort the pride the arrogance….
So, why the hell are they in Sudan instead of continuing to fight for their alleged freedom in Ukraine now?
You globalist idiots have inadvertently revealed that Ukrainian soldiers are doing grunt work so our elite can protect their gold investments in Sudan.
Our ONLY interest in Ukraine for the past nine years was to install a puppet government so corrupt a-holes like the Bidens, George Soros and others could team with Ukrainian oligarchs to rape Ukraine of money.
BTW, Ukrainians most certainly can have their freedom in what is left of their country, if they surrender and stop attacking Russian Federation territory. That could be done tomorrow.
Pikers, we give Ukraine that much every week.
Nobody is talking about flying drones sport. Talking about logistics. And the Ukrainians are remarkably poor at that.
“The Russians are plundering Sudan’s gold to prop up its economy and fund its war in Ukraine.”
The Orwellian nature and disconnection from reality of these narratives is truly stunning.
Are you stoned? Or just trying to fool people who don't know that the Russian's bombed a small cafe and killed about 50 civilians just a few days ago.
That “cafe” was probably not really a cafe. Probably a weapons storage place.
I remember the histrionics, the wailing and the convulsions that went silent when The Times threw a bucket of cold water on that hot mess.
When you are citing the Times as your source, and they are just repeating what the Russians gave as an excuse, you should realize your argument is worse than weak. You are smarter than that.
It doesn't look like it could be.
