On July 2, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia would consider any European country providing military aid to Ukraine as the force behind the plot to create a hybrid war against Moscow.
Ms. Zakharova affirmed that the West could not control the supply of weapons and was not aware of the unpredictable consequences that this action would bring, especially in the later stages of the conflict.
One of the most obvious problems that Zakharova pointed out was the possibility of leakage of weapons provided.
As the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson noted, the lack of a strict inventory and control mechanism will lead to illegal arms trafficking, both in Ukraine and the countries that send aid.
Not long before, the Asia Observatory (Eurasia Observatory/EAS-Obs) also published a report to reflect on this situation.
According to the report, Western-supported weapons stored in warehouses across Ukraine will become targets of criminal organizations once the war ends.
At that time, the martial law will likely be lifted, leading to a decline in the state's capacity and power in controlling civil life.
The subjects will take advantage of this loose time to break into weapons depots and smuggle stolen goods through neighboring countries, even the whole world.
Returning to her statement on July 2, Ms. Zakharova also questioned the sincerity of the statements about the peace initiative from NATO and the European Union (EU).
According to Ms. Zakharova, the term " peace" does not seem to have become a part of the general agenda in discussions of international forums such as the two blocs.
Zakharova's comments came just a week after Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans announced an additional military aid package worth €175 million ($206 million) to Ukraine, including radar systems and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Mr. Brekelmans added that the Netherlands has also signed a new contract with Ukraine to support the production of 600,000 UAVs.
Last month, Poland's interim Ambassador to Ukraine, Mr. Piotr Lukasiewicz, said Warsaw was planning to transfer the MiG-29 fighter jets from the Soviet era, which were about to be eliminated, to Kiev.
Although there is no final decision, Mr. Lukasiewicz said that "transfer to Ukraine is completely possible", and revealed that this MiG-29 fighter jet will be replaced by the US-made F 16.
Not stopping there, Poland is also preparing the 47th military aid package for Ukraine, with a total value of 200 million euros.
