News - Middle East: UK's foreign intelligence service, commonly known as MI6, has made preparations for a Ukrainian unit to be sent to Africa to carry out sabotage operations against Russia-linked targets, according to an unnamed military source, cited by the Russian media.

"According to information confirmed by several sources, the British intelligence service MI6 has formed and prepared for deployment to the southern continent a sabotage and punitive detachment consisting of militants of Ukrainian nationalist and neo-Nazi formations to counter the development of cooperation between African countries and Russia," a military-diplomatic source said on Wednesday.
The source explained that London had instructed Kiev in July 2023 to order Ukraine's Security Service and the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) to "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'" fighting against Russian troops.
