Ivan Nechayev, Deputy Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Information and Press Department, warned in yesterday’s press conference that continuing to flood Ukraine with weapons has already resulted in a large-scale increase in arms smuggling, and their appearance on the blacknet and the darknet. He noted that, according to law enforcement agencies of EU countries, hundreds of units of automatic weapons, and tens of thousands of rounds of ammo illegally delivered from Ukraine are being seized monthly and returned to that country. But, he pointed out, the weapons available on the darknet include Javelin and other anti-tank weapons and Switchblade kamikaze drones. (https://www.mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/1825841/#1 )
Nechayev reported that in addition to armaments, the U.S. provides Ukraine with reconnaissance data. “According to the information we have, they [Ukraine] use civilian and private satellites in addition to military ones, which de facto amounts to militarizing outer space,” he concluded.
