Only 30% of Western weapons get to the front, the rest - to the black market - the media

About it reports CBS News. "All this weapon is transferred across the border, and then something happens to it, as a result, about 30% comes to the addressee. 30-40%, these are my assumptions," explained Jonas Ohman, the founder of the Volunteer Organization of Lithuania "Blue and yellow". He met with representatives of units that supply weapons and provide other military support to Ukraine since the beginning of the war with Russia in 2014.

In the war in Ukraine, which is mainly outdated by Soviet weapons, a significant influx of Western weapons changes the course of war. The United States confirmed that, since February 2022, when the acute phase of the war began, Ukraine was provided with a military assistance of $ 23 billion, according to the King Institute of World Economy. The UK transferred arms for $ 3. 7, Germany - by 1. 4 billion and Poland - by $ 1. 8 billion, many other countries followed this example.

With the help of unofficial weapons supply channels, volunteers transmit the Armed Forces of Night Vision, Rainbows, Kevla's Brobook, ballistic helmets and modern drones. But a non -governmental organization cannot supply lethal weapons. In his work, Ohman has to maneuver and overcome corruption obstacles by influential local tsar, oligarchs and politicians.

"If weapons are supplied, it should be somehow organized, is it? If your involvement ends at the border of Ukraine, then you do not have to wonder that all this does not reach their destination. In fact, people who are waiting for these weapons However, the addressee will come, " - explained Andy Milburn, a former colonel of the US Marine Corps, who served in Iraq and Somalia, and recently founded a Mozart Group, a military company that is preparing Ukrainian soldiers for the foremost.

He asks himself a rhetorical question that if the US still decided to maintain Ukraine's defense capability, then without even sending its military to the battlefield, why not send people to control of supply? "These can be civilians who would check that everything is fine [with the supply of weapons]," Milburn explained. Earlier, Focus reported that Financial Times journalists found out that the Armed Forces counter -offensive could break.

According to sources, there are not even 30% of the weapons that is needed, so the basic plans for counter -offensive will be postponed next year. Recall that the Russian Federation accused the US of interference in the war in Ukraine. In their statement, representatives of the Russian military referred to an interview with Vadim Skibitsky, who stated that before every shot with HIMARS, the whole strikes were consistent with Washington.
