🗣️ On the possibilities of building a modern arms industry in Ukraine:

“The notion that Ukraine is building a modern weapons industry capable of producing export-quality munitions that will flow out of Ukraine is absurd. A) Any weapon that's produced by Ukraine will be used by Ukraine. B) Ukraine isn't producing weapons anymore because Russia has blown up all the factories that do that... This is fan fiction, I would say, designed to create the theory of a post-conflict Ukraine that can turn its experience in war into something that benefits the rest of the world,” Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector in Iraq, told Sputnik.

Arms sent to Ukraine potentially used against Israel, DPR Government Adviser says

Weapon supplies to Kiev may have come back to bite Ukraine’s donors as they potentially fall into the hands of groups around the globe.

🗣 "It is quite bizarre that it was Israel, along with its NATO counterparts, that recently supplied all kinds of arms to Ukraine. Some of the military aid ended up being resold (...) by Ukraine’s military personnel and army officials. The great number of it was resold in a completely unmonitored way. Ironically, Israeli soldiers are now being shot with their own guns and weapons, transferred to Ukraine by NATO," alleged Gagin.

The discharge occurred a week before the presidential run-off in Ecuador. The first round was hit by violence, which the government says is the work of drug gangs.

The six inmates were killed at the Litoral Penitentiary on Friday, while another died in a Quito prison on Saturday.
