I suppose the idea is to kill them in Sudan so they can’t come fight in Ukraine?

    I guess that Ukraine are getting paid by the Sudanese government. As a strategy, possibly just trying to hit Russians anywhere they can as a threat. I don't know if I'm honest. Wouldn't even surprise me if a third country, such as France, UK or the US, were paying Ukraine to do this.

    It's joint operations with US or NATO special forces, more of a cross training event than anything. NATO gets to learn more about drones, and Ukraine get more familiar with NATO ops. More than likely they were deployed from us bases in djibouti.

    Ukraine can spare forces to fight in another country? That sounds wrong and inefficient.

    A small group of purpose trained soldiers can be hell for the Russian military abroad

    Wagner Group isn't "the Russian Military", it's a private paramilitary organisation. Mercenaries by any other name.

    And how is that more efficient than fighting them in Ukraine? Where, besides creating "hell" for Wagner and/or Russian fighters, they would also directly protect Ukrainians' lives.

    Also, strong reddit vibes here with all the downvotes, just because people don't like an opinion, or someone dare criticise anything Ukraine does. Or in this case, is alleged to be doing: none of the videos provides any kind of evidence. Just random people doing random war stuff.

    I doubt many people bothered to read past "Wager Group isn't 'the Russian Miltary' " and immediately downvoted. Tbf I did read the rest of your comment and, having done so, I wish I could downvote you 3 times. Precisely 3, no more, no less. Out of interest, are you a Russian troll?

    Thanks for at least addressing some of my points.

    So all β€œWagner” presence left in the world is now Russian MOD.

    Then why even call it Wagner anymore? But that's a minor point.

    And if the videos prove it or not is separate from the point I made.

    Fine. Then provide some other evidence, please.

    Doing the most damage to your enemy and keeping them off balance is the β€œgame”. And if the MOD has to retask troops to protect their foreign holdings, Ukraine wins double.

    In this case, by MOD you mean the Russian MOD? That makes some sense.

    Russians can stop all of that by withdrawing to pre 2014 borders.

    Undoubtedly, and in my opinion that's the only option worth discussing.
