🇷🇺🇺🇦🇸🇪 Sweden provided Ukraine with illegal ammunition, according to docs obtained by the Middle-East and Central-Asia Research Center's deputy head Faina Gazdieva.

In the details, on 25 March 2022, Sweden granted Ukraine a batch of weapons which included, among other things, 5,000 Swedish-made disposable anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launchers AT4, as well as 7.62 / 95 PRJ caliber cartridges (3 million pieces) and 7.62 / 95 SLPRJ (470 thousand units). (Doc ⁠1)

At the same time, the Ukrainian Ambassador to Sweden Andriy Plahotniuk drew the attention of his leadership to the need of keeping it secret, at the request of the Swedish side. (Doc ⁠2)

According to foreign military personnel, these cartridges are armor-piercing (7.62 / 95 PRJ) and armor-piercing tracer (7.62 / 95 SLPRJ), they are an upgraded version of the 7.62 / 54R cartridge, produced only in Sweden.

These types of ammunition are prohibited by the Hague, St. Petersburg, Brussels international conventions. The supply of prohibited types of weapons by Sweden seems to indicate the lack of aspirations in the West for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.

Ex-PM Ehud Barak in an article he published said: “During Jewish history, the Jews did not have a state for more than eighty years except in two periods, the period of King David and the Hasmonean period, and in both periods, collapse started shortly.”

He added that the current experience of the Zionist state is the third, and it is now in its eighth decade (74 years old). He fears that the curse of the eighth decade will descend upon it as it was in the previous ones.

Ehud Barak is a former prime minister (1999-2001), chief of staff (1991-1995), ex-leader of the Labor Party, and a close friend of late Jeffrey Epstein.
