Chronicles of Troubled Times: prologue to WWIII

Ледоколы, охотничьи ружья и топливо для миссии на Марс.
‼️Расследование Deutsche Welle о поставках оружия в Россию в обход европейских санкций после 2014 года.

О подобных поставках стало известно после серии журналистских расследований.
Но наиболее активно о поставках вооружения заговорили только после недавнего апрельского расследования британской The Telegraph, в котором журналисты рассказали о поставках в Россию из 🇩🇪Германии, 🇫🇷Франции, 🇮🇹Италии и 🇬🇧Великобритании.

🇺🇦Портал Investigate Europe, одним из первых обративший внимание на поставки в обход эмбарго, с удивлением обнаружил, что среди крупнейших поставщиков оружия в Россию числится и #Украина.
Москва, по данным базы SIPRI, с 2014 по 2021 год стала крупнейшим покупателем оружия у Киева после Китая.

Очень познавательное расследование, почитайте!
И задайтесь вопросом*, какого хера этим должны заниматься журналисты, а не соответствующие органы.

*Этот вопрос адресован в первую очередь тем украинским колаборантам, кто на каждом углу подпевает кремлевской пропаганде, призывая "убить всех русских" и "превратить Россию в Марсианскую пустыню". Но об этом позже. А пока просто осознайте, что в течение 8 лет после захвата Крыма и фактического начала войны, Украина среди прочих САМА вооружала путинскую Россию.

Icebreakers, hunting rifles and fuel for a mission to Mars.
‼️ Deutsche Welle investigation into arms supplies to Russia evading European sanctions after 2014.

In mid-April, the European Commission, together with the 5th package of sanctions, finally, closed the legal loophole that allowed to supply for #Russia weapons and dual-use products, despite the embargo introduced in 2014.
Such deliveries became known after a series of journalistic investigations.

Most actively they started talking about the supply of weapons after another journalistic investigation in April — this time, by the British The Telegraph, in which journalists talked about supplies to Russia from 🇩🇪#Germany, 🇫🇷#France, 🇮🇹#Italy and 🇬🇧#UK.

🇩🇪The Telegraph about Germany: "They were sending Moscow equipment, including bombs, rockets, shells and guns, despite the EU arms embargo on Russia, imposed after the annexation of Crimea in 2014."

Now Germany making excuses they supplied Moscow with weapons only after guarantees from Kremlin that the bombs and cannons would be used exclusively for "peaceful purposes."

🧐🤔
Besides, up until the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Germany was actively supplying so-called dual-use goods to Russia, which in 2020 alone were exported in the amount of 366 million euros.
Including, these are various high-tech electronics, sensors and lasers that can be used in the production of weapons, German Welt am Sonntag wrote about this. Electronics from Germany was used in the production of Russian military drones.
Export of such goods was finally banned only after the introduction of the 4th sanctions package after the start of Russian war against Ukraine.

🇫🇷France accounts for 44% of European arms supplies to Russia, totaling 152 million euros since 2015. During this time, Paris issued 76 export licenses for the sale of weapons to Moscow. The main suppliers were Thales and Safran, about this wrote Disclose, citing classified documents that now you can downloaded on the Internet.

And now the cherry on the cake!🍒
🇺🇦 Investigate Europe, which was one of the first to pay attention to deliveries bypassing the embargo, was surprised to find that #Ukraine is also among the largest arms suppliers to Russia.
Moscow, according to SIPRI database, from 2014 to 2021 became the largest buyer of Ukrainian weapons after China.

In the case of "export" from Ukraine to Russia, it was not the transfer of weapons themselves to Moscow, but licenses for production, which is also counted as arms supplies.

Какое "вооружение" Германия продавала России в обход эмбарго

ФРГ подверглась критике за продажу России оружия в обход европейских санкций. Расследование DW показало, что речь на самом деле идет о поставках спасательных судов и топлива для полета на Марс.
