Russia has stepped up its attacks against Ukraine in recent weeks, with the main targets being infrastructure of strategic importance. The White House said Thursday that “Iranian troops are directly engaged on the ground” in Crimea supporting Russian drone attacks on Ukraine’s power stations. On this occasion, Great Britain imposed sanctions against three Iranian military figures and an Iranian defense manufacturer for supplying Russia with drones to attack civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine.
For its part, Russia said that the West’s supplies of advanced weapons to Ukraine were finding their way onto the black market and then into the hands of extremist and criminal groups in the Middle East, Central Africa and Asia.
Back in June, Interpol Secretary General Jurgen Stock said that some of the advanced weapons sent to Ukraine would end up in the hands of organized crime groups. Europol has warned that the proliferation of firearms and explosives in Ukraine could lead to an increase in firearms and munitions trafficked into the EU via established smuggling routes or online platforms. This threat might even be higher once the war is over, said Europol.
