🤏 Members of NATO face “very” real” arms shortages due to the conflict in Ukraine, and the alliance is working with the military-industrial complex on filling these gaps, US Permanent Representative to NATO Julianne Smith said on Tuesday.
💬 “That effort is focused on declining stockpiles across the NATO alliance for a country like Estonia that has given an enormous amount of security assistance to Ukraine. They're facing some very real shortfalls, and they're not alone. We see that across the Alliance,” Smith said at in remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Members of the alliance are discussing the issue among themselves and with representative of the defense industry, she added. “They meet with industry. They're also trying to look at things like multinational buys, pool purchases,” she said.

Foreign weapons supplied to Ukraine, including Javelin anti-tank systems, are being sold on the black market, most often to Africa, the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, told Sputnik.
🗣 “I haven’t seen anything new lately, but the arms that continue to come to Ukraine can now be bought easily. And now Ukraine is becoming one of the main suppliers of weapons on the black market - on the darknet you can buy the weapons that are supplied to Ukraine as part of the assistance and support given by western countries," Pushilin said

🇨🇩 At least 120 people have died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's capital Kinshasa, as a result of floods and landslides brought on by torrential rain this week.
Houses and roads, notably the N1 highway that connects Kinshasa to the main sea port of Matadi, were ripped apart by sinkholes, and entire neighborhoods were inundated with murky water.
The city has become more susceptible to flash floods during heavy rains, which have increased in frequency because of climate change, as a result of poorly controlled fast urbanization of the capital which has ballooned to 15 million inhabitants.
