Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Ukraine:

Ukrainians sell weapons they receive from Western countries on the black market

Ukraine’s military ambitions continue to be well understood in the USA. The US has spent $7.3 billion on military aid for Ukrainian units since the start of the special military operation and is not planning to let up. The EU is not far behind its overseas ally. Brussels has decided to grant Kiev another consignment of military aid worth 500 million euros.

❗️All this is taking place against the backdrop of reports by the Ukrainian and Western press on the subsequent smuggling of arms sent to Ukraine via DarkNet and other channels. These weapons are saturating the black markets that are actively used by extremist and terrorist groups all over the world. NATO and the EU are well aware of this situation. This is evident from their attempts to create some oversight mechanisms and compel Kiev to report on the targeted use of the supplied weapons.

Despite help from the West, the position of the Ukrainian armed units in the combat zone is declining every day.
