The source added that Kiev, at the request of London in July 2023, ordered that Ukraine’s Security Service and the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) “provide maximum and prompt assistance to representatives of the British intelligence MI6 and SAS special unit in the selection of 100 fighters from the Ukrainian national formations with significant combat experience on the ‘eastern front.'”
One of the main tasks of the unit in Africa will be “sabotage of infrastructure in African countries, as well as the elimination of African leaders oriented towards cooperation with Russia,” the source added.
The unit is planned to be sent to Africa by “a chartered civilian ship from the [Ukrainian] port of Izmail to the [Sudanese] city of Omdurman during the second half of August,” the source said.
GUR officer Lt. Col. Vitaliy Prashchuk, who has experience of “successful liquidations” and participated in MI6 operations in Zimbabwe, will head the unit, the source said.
