Weapons sent to Ukraine may end up in the hands of terrorists

London: ‘When weapons are supplied in any conflict, there is a possibility of adverse effects. After the end of the conflict, surplus weapons are feared to fall into the hands of criminal gangs or terrorists. This could also happen in Ukraine,’ said General Graeme Biggar, head of the British National Crime Agency. On Saturday, the United Kingdom announced six million dollars military assistance to Ukraine. Against this background, this warning becomes draws attention.

Moreover, the international community, including the United States, has provided weapons worth more than $25 billion to Ukraine. It includes air defence systems, short-range missiles, anti-tank missiles, long-range rocket systems, armoured vehicles, radars, machine guns, advanced rifles, tanks, guns, mortars and a huge amount of ammunition. Russia claims billions of dollars of these arms have been smuggled into the hands of foreign criminal gangs and others. The US Department of Defense has also expressed concern over reports that arms shipments to Ukraine are being smuggled out. It was also revealed that the US Department of Defense deployed a special Ukraine team to monitor weapons.
