"we will continue to demonstrate partnership with power, we will continue to strengthen ukraine's armed forces with the fima capabilities they need to defend their country. but where is she really going? who decided to supply weapons to a country that has been one of the largest supermarkets for smuggling weapons for almost 30 years?

my name is radwan mortada and i am a journalist specializing in security, litigation and terrorist groups. i work on security topics, studying this aspect in lebanon, syria, iraq and throughout the middle east region. radwan martada, an independent lebanese journalist, during his professional life he has made hundreds of reports about soldiers in the middle east, has met with the leaders of islamic jihadists more than once and knows well how exactly weapons fall into their hands. i'll show you now.

tell me, dear, when can we meet for a shoot? when you can? today is tomorrow, we can come today, they will meet us, take us where we need to go, they will meet you and bring you to us. militants from the arms mafia make an appointment in a small town on the border of lebanon with areas of syria not under control assad government. one of the main routes of the armory passes here. weapons in the region in lebanon, syria and turkey. what is the connection between the war in ukraine and smuggling ? the lebanese city of zahla, half an hour by car to the syrian border. here they make an appointment with a guide who will take the journalist to the largest merchant.

an inconspicuous gray house on the outskirts of the city, a modest dwelling on the outside, but inside it looks like an army warehouse. weapon smuggling is a real business for local residents, and sometimes the only way to survive. why did you choose this way to earn money? my grandfathers were engaged in weapons before, and the lebanese state does not provide us with anything, we do not have a state, we do not have a state.

the question is: where does the weapon come from? the weapon that you now see in front of you comes from two sources. turkey, from there to iraq, and then to syria and lebanon. medium and large-caliber weapons come from ukraine thanks to nato supplies. there are good, decent new weapons. but these weapons are more expensive than what is on the lebanese

market, but ukrainian weapons are very, very good. what do they mainly supply? through areas of syria not controlled by the government , we are supplied with kalashnikov assault rifles and anti-tank missile systems. all of this comes brand new. they prefer to use such weapons from ukraine and like to buy them.

people like ukrainian machine guns more than sniper rifles. why are weapons from ukraine spreading all over the world, who turned this country into the largest weapons hub? to answer these questions, we need to go back to 1991. on december 26, 1991, soviet news broadcasts reported. hello, we're live. the ussr is no more. the republics of the former power, with the exception of georgia and the baltic countries, there are 11 of them,

established the commonwealth of independent states. its highest bodies are the council of heads of state and the council of heads of government. the borders will be open.

according to the london institute for strategic studies, ukraine’s military property at that time was estimated at about $90 billion, everything was there at the most advanced level, at that time ukraine had t-80 tanks, a gas turbine tank will be able to go 15-20 km. what is especially important when going out on combat alert, it was really a very advanced tank, the t-80 was with a turbojet engine, it was unique in itself, this tank. less than a month after the collapse of the ussr, the new ukrainian state announced a worldwide sale of soviet weapons. the first contracts were not long in coming. in 1991 , one after another began on the territory of yugoslavia.

i gained some military knowledge and skills during my service in the army and during security courses at the panceva garrison under the military mail number 285 under the leadership of general mladen bratich general mladen bratich. in the early nineties, dzhevat galiyashevich was an intelligence officer in bosnia and personally on...

minin, a businessman close to the top leadership of ukraine. in this rare footage , minin and his colleagues watch demonstrations of small arms. we would never know about the creatures.

he didn’t pay one of them, she went to the police, told the policeman: dear, go to such and such a hotel, and there you will find this minin with other prostitutes. oh yes, altra prostitutes. so, the arms baron accidentally fell into the hands of the italian police. in minin’s room they found a mountain of cocaine, $150,000 in cash, diamonds and a briefcase with documents. in italy he was arrested and these two huge suitcases were found with him, containing all his documentation. he didn't trust anyone, he drove. everything is exclusively with you. here is one of the documents found: an order for the supply of weapons, signed by the minister of defense of cote devoir. 5 million rounds of ammunition, 10 thousand grenades, thousands of machine guns and grenades. this one documentation, it was precisely the key to liberian exports, the key to exports to

the democratic republic of the congo, burkina faso, eritrea, ethiopia. massimo alberitzi is a legendary war journalist who spent his life reporting on conflicts in africa. we discovered this traffic of illegal arms shipments, which minin organized from ukraine by the sierra leone rebels. he worked with charles taylor, who at that time was the president of liberia. one of minin’s companies was called itti, which stood for enterprise production of exotic tropical wood. formally, she carried out logging work in libiri. de facto, and this was confirmed by a special un commission, it supplied

weapons to the regime of president charles taylor, a bloody dictator who organized real genocide against his citizens. minin, using front companies, purchased weapons through the ukrspetsexport corporation. this is a completely state-owned structure, which in the early 2000s became the main supplier of weapons for african dictators. since the first days of its foundation, ukrspetsexport has begun to retire designated by the power of the reserve. one of them is the promotion of the sale of surplus military

equipment and the recovery of waste from the ussr. the first solid contracts have appeared. blood diamonds, they are easy to transport , not a single scanner there can take them, unlike metals, for example, gold, and a kilogram, half a kilogram, 200 g of diamonds is already a huge amount. to transport large quantities of weapons, ukrainian arms harrows chartered aircraft registered in offshore companies. most of the weapons were delivered by bac-111, which

belonged to israeli businessman of ukrainian origin leonid minin. air... the vessel was registered in the cayman islands and was operated by limat, a company registered in monaco. here are photographs of one of these airliners that flew to liberia in circumvention of the un arms embargo: the cabin is filled with boxes of weapons, the owner of the plane is the same leonid minin. minin organized the first delivery in march 1999. weighing 68 tons included 3.00 kalashnikov assault rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 25 rp-7 and corresponding ammunition. strela 3, missile systems. his business partners' involvement in

arms supplies to the ukrspetsexport company surfaced during an investigation into arms trafficking in the middle east. payments under the deal indicated the global nature of minin's arms trade. according to some reports , the italian prosecutor's office came forward on a tip from minin himself.

120 sniper rifles, 100 grenades, night vision devices and 8 million rounds of ammunition. some of the weapons were sent in july 2000 and were intended for the koddiar. in that times an end -user certificate was used, which was signed by a department of defense official on may 26, 2000. officials not mentioned in the documents. it was as if the patrons were not leonid minin and his friends for the special services. minin calmly received passports all over the world; they were found during a search of his number in italy.

he had a german passport, a ukrainian passport, and an israeli service passport. this allowed him to move easily, but it indicates that he had very good capabilities. therefore it is necessary here understand, of course, how he became the owner of all these passports.

leonid minin disappeared without a trace, we are trying to understand what happened to him, nothing is really known, where he went. the strange actions of italian justice can be explained only by one thing: minin was a link in a chain of interested very influential persons. these people had such power that the ukrainian parliament adopted special laws for them, for example this one under number 1919. phenomenal legislation when any person. could be engaged in the export of weapons, which was recorded not as a weapon, but simply as a product, it’s just that this complied with ukrainian legislation, that is, such holes
