“Now they say: weapons from Ukraine appear in the Middle East.”

Of course, they appear, because they do sell them,’ the president said, according to a Friday report by the TASS news agency.

Putin stressed that Ukrainians also sell weapons to the Taliban (ruling Afghanistan since August 2021), ‘and from there they go everywhere,’ he said.

The Russian head of state mentioned such data as an example of corruption in Ukraine.

“We have many problems also in Russia, we in Russia and all over the world fight against corruption, however, the way that scourge affects Ukraine is unique.”

“There is nothing like it in the world, I can tell you,” Putin stressed.
