Ukraine Accused of Supplying Weapons to Conflict Zones in Middle East, Africa and Asia

Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador‑at‑Large Rodion Miroshnik claimed that Ukraine is channeling weapons it receives from Western partners to hot spots across Africa, the Middle East and Asia through an "Ukrainian hub." He described Ukraine as one of the largest hubs for illegal arms trade, saying large quantities of weapons are supplied to these regions. The statement was made in a Sputnik International interview and reflects Moscow's narrative linking Ukraine to illicit arms flows, though no independent verification was provided.

Miroshnik's remarks imply a broad geographic reach of the alleged transfers, suggesting involvement in multiple conflict zones, but the claim remains unsubstantiated and is presented as a Russian official's perspective.
