War: Unbelievable, Britain, France, Germany, Others Supplied Weapons To Russia

France, Germany and Italy supplied the weapons being used by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.

The three countries, according to Saily Mail, capitalised on a loophole in a ban of exporting arms to Russia to send Moscow €296 million worth of military equipment that is now being used against Ukraine.

Germany, France and Italy were said to be just three of at least 10 European Union member states to export almost €350 million (£293million) in equipment that can include missiles, rockets, ships and bombs

Recall that eight years ago, The European Union banned member nations from engaging in ‘the direct or indirect sale, supply, transfer or export of arms and related material of all types, such as weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary equipment, and spare parts to Russia.

But the countries were able to sell weapons to Russia using a backdoor technicality that permitted contacts signed before August 1, 2014, or additional contracts that would help conclude those deals, despite the ban.

According to the report, France was responsible for the majority of exports, raking in €152 million in sales.

That amounts to 44 per cent of European arms exported to Russia, as reported by Investigate Europe.

Russia has taken delivery of weapons such as bombs, rockets, torpedoes, missiles, and explosive charges from France since 2015.

They also bought thermal imaging cameras for more than 1,000 Russian tanks, including T-80BVMs and T-72B3s, and infrared spotters for attack jets and helicopters.

Even in 2014, France was still allowing the sale of chemical and biological weapons to Moscow.

Germany came in at a close second, exporting 35 per cent of all European Union arms to President Vladimir Putin with €121.8million sold.

Italy sold the third most, exporting €22.5 million from 2015 to 2020. They also allegedly sold €21.9 million in arms and ammunition to Russian civilians and paramilitary groups between January and November 2021.

Britain also sold £1.7 million worth of arms to Russia after the EU ban was imposed, the report said.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”

United States Congressman, Riley Moore, has stated that President Donald Trump is determined to put an end to the killing of Christians in Nigeria, warning that further action may follow if the violence persists.

Moore made the statement on Friday via his official X handle.

“President Trump has been clear that the killing of Christians in Nigeria must end,” he said.

He that the administration’s resolve on the matter should not be underestimated.

“As I stated at the outset: Do not test President Trump‘s resolved in this matter.

“Tonight’s strike in coordination with the Nigerian government is just the first step to ending the slaughter of Christians and the security crisis affecting all Nigerians,” he said.

A video footage of the US military air strikes in Nigeria has emerged.

The video was released by the US Department of War following its air strikes against terrorists in Sokoto.

Earlier, the US secretary of War, Pete Hegseth had confirmed that military air strikes hit terrorists in Nigerians, saying it was deadly.

Later on, the US. African Command, confirmed that it conducted the attacks described as very deadly by President Donald Trump.

Trump said he was only keeping the promise he made earlier last month to strike the terrorists he believes are killing innocent Christians.

Although described as powerful and deadly, the casualty caused by the attack is yet to be released.

Explaining further, security expert, Brant Philip, said the strikes may have been launched “from the USS Paul Ignatius, using a Tomahawk missile.”

The Nigerian government through its ministry of foreign affairs has also confirmed that the strikes were successful.
