Russia’s Wagner Group is providing Sudan’s RSP with missiles

Russia’s Wagner Group has provided Sudan’s rapid support services with surface-to-air missiles, according to Al Arabiya News. This led the US to report that it is rolling out new sanctions against the Russian mercenary group on May 25th. The US Treasury Department said in a statement: “Most recently in Sudan, the Wagner Group has been supplying Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces with surface-to-air missiles to fight against Sudan’s army, contributing to a prolonged armed conflict that only results in further chaos in the region…As Russia’s military has struggled on the battlefield, Putin has resorted to relying on the Wagner Group to continue his war of choice.”
