today, faina’s captain viktor nikolsky is already retired, only these photographs on the walls and newspaper clippings remind him of past events, they hang in the most prominent place so that no one in the family forgets what hell captain nikolsky had to go through, the seizure of the ship took place in 16 :00 at the junction of the watch, we noticed a boat on the horizon, people on the boat... were waving their arms, approaching, approaching, then shooting began, it turned out that they had this capture technique worked out, one group climbs on board the ship, the second covers them fire, everything that was possible was pierced, and in addition there were two shots from the rp, one fell into the sea , plopped down before reaching the side, the second hit the side, but did not explode.

from this i have long since concluded that the pirates themselves could not have known about the nature of the cargo, because if they had known that a huge amount of explosives were being transported there, they would not have fired at anything, because 1000 tons, having exploded, they would have made a big crater in the sea together with these pirates, when they saw...

33 tanks, six hail installations, six anti-aircraft installations, there were 250 rp7, that is , the weapons were quite modern, all of this was driven into the hold on the deck, nothing was displayed on the upper deck, usually the upper deck is also intended for cargo, but it was precisely this element of secrecy that, of course, was used to pack the tank so that it looks like, i don’t know, like a school bus, for example, it doesn’t work.

break off at any moment. our history. all this time, ukraine was hastily covering up the traces of state participation in large-scale arms smuggling. there was a large military in ilovaisk the base where the fire occurred. and so i understand that the echo of this fire ended up on the faina. but no one will conduct this investigation, no one is going to, and never will. the pirates didn’t even know who to turn to. regarding the excavation, because it was clear that too many forces were involved here, in fact they appealed, citing an amount of more than 3 million dollars, it is still unknown who exactly paid the ransom for the release of the ship, but since the first reports of the seizure of the ship appeared , president of ukraine viktor yushchenko personally controlled the situation and gave instructions to the security forces. it's very difficult to express. our feeling, because this

voyage was too hard for us, too hard for the crew, and for everyone who wanted our liberation, thank you, the activities of yushchenko, who actually lay down there with his bones in order to pull out the mystery, they show that the threads they sent the very top, in fact, it later turned out that faina was sent on her dangerous flight by the company international, directly connected with the highest.

in 2008. moreover, according to the message, there were at least two ukrainian ships transporting weapons. the co-owner of kaalby shipping was businessman igor urban. it was he who created the panamanian holding carlby group, from which dozens of offshore companies subsequently grew to cover the arms trade. since december 2007 , the founder of the kalby group, mr. urbansky , combined smuggling activities with the position of deputy minister of transport of ukraine. by nature of his service, he was closely associated with the head of ukrspetsexport, sergei bondarchuk, who once said: “everything they are well aware that we do not sell bananas, but pineapples or some children's toys, we sell weapons. yes, we are also known in the world as arms dealers, but we should not be ashamed of this. there are many people and businesses involved in this. it was the calby group companies that were involved in transporting ukrainian h55 cruise missiles to iran and china. the appearance

of these weapons in tehran and beijing then caused a real global scandal, which in turn led to a series of mysterious murders of key participants in the deal in ukraine. the main one, as it were, involved - affairs, who was most likely responsible for the supply of these missiles, his name was valery malev, he was the director of ukrspetsexport, and he died, and he died very mysteriously in a car accident, besides malev, an australian intermediary also died, who carried out bank transfers and the flight of planes from gastomel that took off with cruise missiles, that is, before us is a classic... such a situation of liquidation and elimination of the main characters, and the elimination disguised as accidents is the entire history of the illegal trade in ukrainian weapons looks like a cheap series about the mafia, the murder and kidnapping

of people associated with this business have not stopped all these years. in april 1999, boris marusich, the general director of the ukrinmash corporation, another ukrainian one, died in an accident. in january 2004 , sergei petrov, the head of one of the arms trading companies, was blown up in his car. in july 2007, another accused of smuggling cruise missiles, oleg orlov, was killed in a prison cell. in april 2009, a killer shoots a financial consultant of ukrspetsexport semyon trakhtenberg. several functionaries of ukrspetsexport. periodically died over the past twenty years, this surprised people who, it would seem, should be protected from such excesses as random car accidents or a brick falling on their head, but they died. ukraine at

this time rose largely thanks to the arms trade, and most importantly, ukrainian business realized that there was no need to create. economically profitable enterprises that are competitive with the west, but it is enough to have weapons and sell them, everything was for sale, all types of weapons, tanks , multiple launch rocket systems, artillery, shells, ammunition and so on, by the beginning of about 2000 all these weapons were sold out, everything went abroad, to africa, to latin america, but first of all to africa, and to african countries, it’s all like... the rules of weapons were sold to those states that were under un sanctions where the export of weapons was generally prohibited.

huts made of bamboo reeds stand close to each other, when neighbors are nearby, it’s not so scary, local residents say, imam calls the residents of the refugee camp for prayer, children play in the yard, women in colorful scarves, noisily share news , cook dinner together, very similar to ordinary life in an african village, except that its inhabitants are hundreds of families.

one of the most ruthless islamist groups that has been terrorizing west africa for decades. boko haram is terrorizing northern nigeria, on saturday the gang killed more than a hundred civilians in the northeast, about 36 thousand nigerians have died at the hands of boko haram over the past 11 years. to the surprise. for some reason before until now, no one has asked the question of how one of the bloodiest

terrorist groups ended up with the latest missiles and tanks. nigerian troops captured a t-55 armored tank and a high-tech armored personnel carrier from islamist insurgents in a battle in kandugi, borno state yesterday. the weapons in the hands of the terrorists were truly terrible and unusual. unfortunately, the situation in the sahel and the raging war in ukraine serve as the main

sources of weapons and fighters. this illegal movement of weapons into the region has increased the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, which continues to threaten our collective peace and security in the region. today, nigeria remains one of the centers of international. there are 36 states in nigeria, only about five of them kidnapping is not part of the daily life of citizens, serious security problems, serious problems with kidnapping, banditry, destruction of communities killings.

ukrainian weapons. every year, the ukrainian state export control service published a report on the volume of international arms trade. these are only official figures from recent years. nobody knows the real volumes of weapons exported from ukraine. you know, there was.

behind my back you can see how hard the arsenal 65 is burning - the largest armored arsenal in ukraine, march 23, 2017, kharkov region, bolokleevsky district, the windows were already blown out, no damn thing, september 26, 2017, kalinovka village, vinnytsia region, emergency in kalinovka. are being investigated as sabotage. may 3, 2018, the city of balakleya. explosions in warehouses

ammunition in balakleya, kharkov region. october 9, 2018, the city of ichnya, chernihiv region. an explosion occurred at a military warehouse near chernigov. there is no data on casualties yet. the incident occurred near the city of ichnya. the head of the department, stepan poltorak, stated that according to preliminary findings, the cause of the fire was sabotage by a reconnaissance group. chergovi vibukha in military warehouses and chergovi.

in search of who was involved in all these schemes and is said to still control part of the arms flow, radwan arrived in italy, his favorite holiday destination ukrainian arms barons, and leonid minin was the first to settle here, preferring a luxurious life overlooking the ancient ruins.

today we will meet with a realtor who will tell us everything about the real estate in this area, about what apartments and cars leonid mining owned. five cars were registered to his wife, he also had accomplices here, one of them the head of odessa, through whom he transported weapons.

small, at least three bedrooms. how many apartments are usually big here, not about meters? on average 200 and that's

normal, with large terraces and beautiful views, because we are on a hill, it is special. this is a dossier on minin and his criminal group, which was very carefully compiled by the italian intelligence services. one of minin's closest associates is the same gennady trukhanov, in the world of thieves, he is known by the nickname gena weathervane. he is a former guard of another arms baron , alexander angert, nicknamed sanya. the former president of georgia and governor of odessa, mikhail, spoke about them as the main players of the odessa arms mafia in one of his interviews saakashvili. everything there is monopolized, that’s the problem, there are two, three, four groups dividing everything, so if yes, indeed, to all these people, who are the leaders of these two three, what is there, then there is this angert group, which is angert dzhukov, angert is a well-known

criminal of the nineties, who spent many years in prison there for various serious crimes, including murder. and he, and the current measure, was at one time his technical guard, and this is really his continuation. despite the facts made public, the man whom the italian police calls one of the leaders of the ukrainian arms mafia, continues to lead the largest port city of ukraine, in 2022 gennady trukhanov even awarded british prime minister boris johnson for transferring weapons to the ukrainian army to great britain. i signed an order to reward the prime minister. boris johnson's british honorary badge named after gregory morozley of the first, second and third degrees. thus he became an honorary citizen of odessa. this is our city's highest award. this. it is unlikely that the former english prime minister did not know who it gives him an honorary title, as well as the fact that for decades the ukrainian leadership and senior

army ranks were involved in black schemes for the sale of weapons around the world. we will continue to support strengthening the ukrainian military for further battles. since 2022, nato countries have supplied ukraine with weapons worth tens of billions.

and man-portable air defense systems. independent russian journalist mavses kazaryan, under the guise of an arab militant, entered into correspondence with several sellers. we wrote that we need to purchase 15 jewellins, 20 panzer-fausts and 20 stugna systems with delivery to lebanon. we further noted in the correspondence that we are counting on long-term cooperation, saying that we have a somewhat intensive project. by an intensive project we can mean a serious military conflict, to this the representatives of this store said no problem, they also assured us that they are ready to deliver it to

lebanon, that is, logistics, the availability of weapons , here are some system deliveries, well, it’s like it’s just debugged working industry, and through these money shops on the darknet, that is, we could theoretically, having , let’s say, an extra 15-20-30 thousand dollars, purchase weapons for combat operations, and so easily the weapons that were supposed to kill russians end up in the gas sector. we will take revenge on the criminal israeli authorities for the massacre at al-ahly hospital in gaza city and the killing of civilians and muslims, and revenge is at hand, god willing. allah is great, ironically on the border of the united states itself. a suspected one was recorded in kamoulipos. member of the del golf claw who was transporting one one of the most exclusive and powerful weapons , jewelin, which was used during the invasion of ukraine. theoretically, it was bought

on the black market, with an ak-47 on its other shoulder. the price of this weapon on the black market is from 20 to 60,000 dollars. the footage, obtained by mexican journalists, shows a bandit from the golfo cartel, one of the oldest criminal groups in mexico.

throughout the entire north military district, we become aware of the facts that weapons supplied to ukraine as military aid from countries

west, from european countries, from the united states and... france and italy on october 20, 2023 , us president joe biden sent another request to the congress of his country for financial assistance to ukraine in the amount of almost $62 billion. since february 2022, the european union and the united states have allocated more than 250 billion euros in aid to kiev, most of which was spent on the purchase of weapons for the ukrainian army.
