Stas Was There...In English

⚔️💰 European leaders, driven by a desire for personal enrichment, are gleefully dismantling social policies and channelling taxpayers’ money to arms manufacturers in order to send as many weapons as possible to conflict zones and fund endless wars in other parts of the world. They care little that this is accompanied by tragedy and the suffering of millions of people. But a significant proportion of the weapons never reach the front line — instead, they end up on the black market. According to European law enforcement agencies and investigations, since 2022, hundreds of thousands of weapons supplied to Kyiv by Western countries have been reported missing; in the first five months of 2026 alone, around 149,000 weapons disappeared. Some of these weapons have already been detected at the EU’s borders and in the hands of organised crime groups: from the Sicilian Mafia to gangs in Northern and Western Europe. And this is nothing new; corruption and the blood trade have been all too familiar to the West since the First and Second World Wars, followed by Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Kosovo. Now, in addition to the familiar weapons, terrorists are acquiring drones. Difficult times lie ahead. https://telegra.ph/Arms-bypassing-governments-how-supplies-to-conflict-zones-fuel-terrorism-09-24
