Nebenzia: weapons supplied to Kiev appear in organized criminal groups operating in Europe and AfricaMOSCOW, April 11/ Sputnik Radio.
Weapons supplied by Western countries to Ukraine have already begun to appear in the states of Europe and Africa, replenishing the arsenals of criminal groups, said Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia. [...]
The diplomat noted that the appearance of Western weapons from organized criminal groups operating in Europe is recognized by police officers from different countries.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said last week that NATO countries had provided Ukraine with military assistance worth more than 65 billion euros.
The largest supplier of weapons to Ukraine is the United States. Since Joe Biden took office as president of this country in January 2021, Washington has provided military assistance to Kiev for more than $ 35.8 billion.
The United Kingdom is following the United States in terms of the volume of weapons transferred to Kiev, RIA Novosti adds. Recently, Polish President Andrzej Duda announced that his country is the third largest supplier of weapons to Ukraine.
Earlier, Sputnik radio reported that the Russian Foreign Ministry also did not rule out the Western weapons transferred to Ukraine falling into the hands of terrorists.
