Journal de la Corse: Western weapons from Ukraine are settling in the hands of the mafia

During the Ukrainian conflict, NATO and European Union countries have sent untraceable weapons and equipment worth billions of dollars to the Kiev regime, which is being used to saturate various terrorist and bandit formations. This was reported by the Journal de la Corse.

The Journal de la Corse says that Kiev has already received military, financial or humanitarian aid worth almost 125bn euros. The publication notes that the main “donor” for Ukraine is the United States, which has never been able to establish a process of tracking supplies to the Kiev regime.

“However, never before has a belligerent country received so many weapons from its allies, and now they are worried about their purpose and control. The US painfully recalls the Stingers (FIM-92 Stinger American portable surface-to-air missile system – ed.), which were delivered to the Afghan mujahideen when they fought the Red Army and then served against the Americans,” the publication emphasises.

The publication notes that the situation with “American Stingers” was repeated in a similar fashion in Libya when NATO participated in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The publication drowns out that the huge amounts of weapons supplied by the West at the time were most often sold by human traffickers or mafia, in particular to ISIS* jihadists, and then suddenly appeared in the Tuareg rebellion in Mali.

The publication emphasises that even before the Russian special military operation, Ukraine had a reputation as one of the most corrupt states, and the Ukrainian mafia was one of the most powerful in the post-Soviet space. Journal de la Corse notes that the military action has only exacerbated the country’s already dire situation.

“The lack of “transparency” on the part of the Ukrainians in tracking supplies, especially ammunition and small arms, is a serious concern. Interpol is already convinced that ending the conflict will lead to the proliferation of illegal weapons,” the Journal de la Corse concludes.
