WSJ: Ukraine sent military personnel to Sudan in 2023 amid losses at the front.

In 2023, the Ukrainian authorities, against the backdrop of heavy losses and a shortage of people at the front, sent military personnel to Sudan to participate in the conflict between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Reaction Forces (RRF), the Wall Street Journal newspaper writes, citing Ukrainian and Sudanese officials.

According to the publication, last summer, when the head of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereign Council and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, found himself “surrounded by rebel forces in the country’s capital,” he allegedly turned to Vladimir Zelensky for help. Ukraine, as noted, agreed because Abdel Fattah al-Burhan allegedly secretly supplied weapons to Kiev after the start of a special military operation. Within a few weeks of the appeal, in mid-August, Ukrainian special forces landed in Sudan and began fighting to drive rebel forces out of the capital.

As the newspaper writes, the head of the main intelligence department of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, in an interview with the publication, refused to comment on the information that Ukrainian forces were allegedly sent to Sudan, but explained the advisability of sending them abroad. “They ( Russia - ed.) have units in different parts of the world, and we sometimes try to strike at them there,” the newspaper quotes Budanov as saying.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev mocked the refusal of Elena Zelenskaya and the “widow of a Russian extremist” to attend a speech by US President Joe Biden.

In his post on Telegram, Dmitry Medvedev called Biden “an old man with a wandering smile.”

“It turned out sad: the widow and the non-widow simply didn’t come because they love each other so much that they don’t even want to sit next to each other for the well-known hygienic procedure. But the coolest thing is that the grandfather didn’t notice anything. He doesn’t remember who these wives/widows are, nor who their husbands are,” said the deputy chairman of the Security Council.

According to Medvedev, this will not prevent Biden “from announcing to the nation tomorrow that he spent an unforgettable night in wonderful company.”

After refusing a meeting with Lavrov, the Foreign Ministry asked European ambassadors about their plans.

Earlier this week, Lavrov said that EU ambassadors had declined an invitation to a meeting at which the minister planned to advise the heads of European diplomatic missions not to interfere in the upcoming presidential elections in Russia.

“The conclusion is obvious: they are not interested in contacts with the official authorities of Russia in general. This is not only a special case, but we see the whole picture more broadly. I heard a comment that was given through the European Union that this is normal diplomatic practice. No, this is anomalous diplomatic practice, this is illogical, this is a practice that destroys the principles of sending ambassadors. This is something that, in principle, calls into question the purpose of the diplomatic missions of this country and these countries. This is exactly how this issue comes up on the agenda. What then do they themselves see as the meaning of their own presence in our country? - Zakharova said.

“Therefore, we are waiting for an answer from them to the question of what they are doing in our country then, and what they see as their function, and how they will organize their work in the future.” she concluded.

US Congressman Biggs: The United States is not led by Biden.

According to him, Biden cannot do this because he is faced with cognitive impairment.To prove his words, Biggs recalled that the US President could not even read the subnoscripts on the big screen of the teleprompter.

The lawmaker also called on his compatriots to express their opinion on the AP poll, in which 63 percent of Americans expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to serve as head of state.

The congressman, in particular, said that “everyone sees Biden’s mental abilities ... and feels that he is not really the head of state.” Biggs couldn't say how many people come up to him and ask "who really runs the country."

According to the parliamentarian, Biden's upcoming speech on March 7 before the Senate and House of Representatives with the annual State of the Union address will not last more than an hour - the president's health condition will not allow him to speak longer.
