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.

a-holes like the Bidens, George Soros and others could team with Ukrainian oligarchs to rape Ukraine of money.

Do you ever think about what you post? Supposedly, according to the pro-Putin crew, Ukraine is a poor, corrupt country. And now that country is receiving money and weapons from nations around the world, in order to defend themselves against the invading Russians.

So how would various people, other than Putin and his crew, be trying to get money out of Ukraine? That makes no sense at all.
