"Call me a 'Putinist' if you like, but we Uganda will send soldiers to defend Moscow if it is ever threatened by the imperialists!" he wrote on his Twitter page.

In Uganda, Kainerugaba is a brigadier general.

Among other things, he stressed that in Africa "they believe in Russian President Vladimir Putin" when it comes to the war in Eastern Europe, and "the West is wasting time on useless pro-Ukrainian propaganda."

At the end of March, Kainerugaba called Russia a "historical friend of Uganda."

“Whoever undermines this friendship undermines our country,” he said.

In February 2022, Kainerugaba supported a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. And already in the autumn of the same year, he announced that Uganda would regard the attack on Russia as an attack on Africa, and then threatened to invade neighboring Kenya and promised to capture it in two weeks.

His father, Yoweri Museveni, had to apologize for such a statement. The president decided to remove his son from the post of commander of the Uganda ground forces, but he promoted him to the rank of general and kept him as his adviser.

Kainerugaba also commanded special forces fighters who, along with the People's Defense Forces, are accused of torturing, kidnapping and killing opposition members. The general's name appears in a complaint filed with the International Criminal Court.

Recently, Kainerugaba hinted that he intends to participate in the presidential elections to be held in the country in 2026.
