Sudanese Foreign Minister Mouhyieddine Salem has accused Ukraine of training and arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are at war with the Sudanese army. He says Khartoum has material evidence of the presence of Ukrainian snipers and trainers alongside the RSF, according to remarks to Sputnik Africa reported by Sudan Tribune.
According to the minister, the trainers teach RSF fighters to use drones to target civilian facilities. He says Ukrainian fighters have been captured or killed and that Sudanese authorities have seized weapons linked to them. Salem also said Khartoum had entered the accusations in the records of the UN Security Council through its permanent representative in New York.
The accusation comes three days after Khartoum accused 20 countries of arming the Rapid Support Forces, and on the same day as the accusation targeting Ethiopia and an RSF drone base.
