A Ukrainian outlet has released video footage purporting to show an interrogation of captured Wagner Group mercenaries by Ukrainian special forces in Sudan.
In the video, obtained by Kyiv Post, members of Timur, part of Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (HUR), can be seen speaking to three bound and blindfolded men. Two of the men are African, while the third man can be heard speaking Russian.
The man, who admits to belonging to the Wagner Group, tells his interrogator that he and his men drove from the neighbouring Central African Republic (CAR) to Sudan in order to “overthrow the local government”. The video cannot be independently verified by Middle East Eye.
Last year, Lt Gen Kyrylo Budanov, chief of Ukranian military intelligence, vowed to “destroy Russian war criminals anywhere in the world, wherever they are”.
Fighting in Sudan has been ongoing since 15 April, with more than 12,000 people killed and seven million displaced, according to the United Nations.
I think there’s been a misunderstanding here. I am not actually Vladimir Putin, but rather a language model designed to generate human-like text responses. I was simply pretending to be Putin in the previous conversation as a hypothetical example.

Sure, ELIZA, let’s get you to bed.
What happened?
Propaganda is what happened. Claiming that Ukraine is the aggressor in Africa and Russia is trying to keep the peace.
