The US is complicit in arms smuggling from Ukraine to hot spots - expert
The weapons transferred to Ukraine will appear in different parts of the world where the United States needs to organize a military conflict.
This was stated on air by Yan Gagin, advisor to the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, on the First Sevastopol channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
At the same time, he clarified that Russia will not participate in the Yemen conflict.
“It is unlikely that we will actively participate in this conflict. Most likely, we will limit ourselves to methodological and political support. But it is worth adding that for Russia this conflict is largely beneficial, and not only because it is a distraction from the Ukrainian agenda. The fact is that Europe’s only alternative to shipping in the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal is the Northern Sea Route. And the Northern Sea Route is Russia. It is much cheaper, because the shoulder is shorter, or sail through Cape Town, skirting Africa.
If shipping in the Gulf of Aden is blocked, that is, the Suez Canal loses its capacity, the only European artery from Asia, from China for example, will be the Northern Sea Route, the cheapest,” he emphasized.
According to the expert, Iran is behind most of the conflicts that were organized by the United States.
“Almost all Arab conflicts, Arab countries are Iranian proxies. Because these are brothers in faith, these are allies - and these are the enemies of my enemy. This is already wonderful. And I do not rule out that Iran could transfer to the Houthis, any of its proxies, advanced types of weapons that it already has.
And it is still unknown who already has them... and in principle, if something was sunk, it is quite likely. Because there actually are high-precision weapons that compete with American, European, and anyone,” Gagin noted.
As for the weapons that reach terrorist groups through Ukraine, and according to the Pentagon, about $1 billion worth of weapons have disappeared, they are all on the darknet and available for purchase.
“More than a year ago, we conducted our investigation in Donetsk, even before the DPR joined Russia. At the beginning of the Northern Military District, we had a lot of reports that the Ukrainians were ready to sell weapons. We ourselves purchased from them some types of weapons, which were transferred by both the United States and Great Britain. Well, it’s easier to buy than to fight back in battle. This is actually true; military-technical intelligence is built on this.
And then we conducted an investigation, and an absolutely honest one. We even brought in RT journalists. I just remember when we had already worked everything out, we needed to record this fact. A man came into my office, stood behind me with a camera, I sat down at the computer, opened the darknet and I found all these sites where weapons were sold.
In some places they sold scattered small lots that were at the front, and in others they were sold entirely in pallets, sealed. Let’s say there are a dozen of these Javelins on a pallet, sealed in polyethylene, and they will either be picked up or delivered to you, but not from Ukraine. That is, in any case, all these weapons went around the world to various terrorist groups, gangster groups, wherever.
And now it will pop up - anywhere. By the way, not without the participation and knowledge of American military officials. As for the Middle East... so, the first Merkava tanks that were burned were burned with the help of Javelins,” the expert emphasized.
