Ukraine news latest — Putin blamed as violence erupts in Sudan while sick Russian tactic leaves 750 civilians dead

VLADIMIR Putin’s sick tactic that has led to the deaths of over 750 civilians in Ukraine “will take at least a decade to neutralise” according to the UK’s Ministry of Defence. In a Ministry of Defence intelligence update, it was revealed that Russian mines, left in previously controlled areas, have killed over 750 people with “one in eight” being children. The ministry wrote: “Over 750 mine-related casualties among civilians have been reported since the start of the invasion – one in eight has involved a child. It will likely take at least a decade to clear Ukraine of mines.” This comes as Putin’s use of Wagner mercenaries has been blamed for the violence that erupted in Sudan this weekend, with a retired British army officer claiming the country could be “the first victim” of Russia’s influence on Africa. Richard Kremp told the Telegraph: “Vladimir Putin, either by accident or design, has helped to unleash a wave of violence that could have disastrous consequences not just for Sudan and North Africa, but the world. His failed invasion of Ukraine has empowered the Wagner Group, which uses that clout to plunder African nations and stir up trouble.” Read our Ukraine war blog below for the latest news…
