Why would anyone be surprised that a former communist country largely run by oligarchs to this day, whose president and past president were both found to be hiding offshore bank accounts and that has been mired in corruption (like essentially ALL former communist countries) since the fall of the USSR… would be funneling arms and aid into private hands?
Nah. I’m sure the story is just Russian disinformation. Get Facebook on it right way!

But surely, that description is exactly what Russia is under your Putin!

In the ranking of corruption in Europe, Ukraine is in second place, just a few points behind Russia. Little to choose between them.

These arms circulating in Europe could also be part of the $80Billion worth of US arms left in Afghanistan after Biden’s ridiculously abrupt withdrawal and the quick abandonment by the Afghan armed forces as the Taliban swept through. Just more examples of the gift that keeps on giving.
The fact that they didn’t even attempt to scuttle all the kit they were leaving behind, still bemuses me to this day.

There is leakage of weapons from every prolonged conflict. Peacetime armed forces have robust systems for controlling arms and ammunition but on battlefields stuff gets lost or abandoned. It would be surprising if the Ukraine conflict was any different.

From one bunch of criminals (the Biden family and his Ukrainian puppet) to another bunch of criminals, imagine my shock!

It won’t be long before an aircraft is shot down at Heathrow, Gatwick or Luton by a top of the range SAM originally destined for Ikickabollockoff & Co in the Ukraine.

Now can you see why Russia had to take Chernobyl and ZNPP? To prevent Z selling weapons grade plutonium and uranium from ZNPP to the highest bidder or building his own missiles. And Britain has been urgently trying to get it back, so since they’ve repeatedly failed they would resort to a dirty bomb to fire at Chernobyl, until half the British govt blabbed about the plan on there iPhones that is.
Let me get this straight, your telling me that all these AK 47s and RPG 7s that the world, and every terrorist organisation in the world, is awash with, originated in the West?
Yeah, right.
And I suppose Prigozhin, the bloke who owns your employer, Glavset, is just a misunderstood choir boy.

Cheeky little American puppet, the defence minister has gone awfully quiet lately, hasn’t he? Must have got a good telling off in Washington, and a new line manager or ‘PM’.

“(The US State Dept. cited) ‘Russia’s forces, Russia’s proxies, and non-state actors’ as potential criminal agents.”
Is there anything Russia can’t do at this point?

Doesn’t this just confirm just how many of you are Glavset trolls.
People who oppose arming the Ukraine: oh, what a surprise!
