‘Ukraine arms sold on black market’
VIENNA. – Amid the ongoing military operation in Ukraine, a senior Russian diplomat claimed that weapons provided by the West to Ukraine are already being sold in the black market and also supplied to the Middle East.
The statement by made by Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation at the military security and arms control talks in Vienna, as several western countries have provided armaments to Ukraine in the midst of ongoing conflict.
“There is a danger of the spread of light small arms from the conflict zone, especially Javelins, MANPADS and anti-tank weapons around the world. There are already facts that these weapons are sold on the black market and sent to the Middle East, to Syria’s Idlib city. We have already seen the footage,” he told Rossiya 24 broadcaster.
Meanwhile, the Russian government has chastised the United States for providing military assistance to Ukraine. – Republicworld.com
