00:00:50250 billion euros in
00:01:45a school bus doesn't work, but there too, the recipients
00:01:49are hidden as much as possible, the delivery
00:01:53now some of routes are hidden, and in exactly the same way the delivery
00:01:56route of rolkirafain was hidden.
00:02:08The vessel's captain, who remained in captivity for the longest period
00:02:12of time in the history of Somali piracy, 133
00:02:16days, thought his life could end any moment, and Ukraine had
00:02:19been concealing the state's involvement in large scale arm smuggling, the
00:02:23whole time, there was a large
00:02:27military base in Ilovaisk, where it happened...
00:03:00but as soon as the ship was reported seized, Ukrainian
00:03:03president himself took control and gave
00:03:07direct orders to law enforcers.
00:03:10it's very difficult to express our
00:03:13feelings, because the voyage is too
00:03:17hard for everybody, too hard for crew members
00:03:21and
00:03:29our liberations. thank you.
00:04:00transport of military equipment, and this company's
00:04:04main office is in Odessa
00:04:06in Ukraine, but it is registered
00:04:09in the British Virgin Islands, and it has
00:04:13branches in a number of
00:04:17years, become a countries. The press obtained the case of the seizure of the cargo ship
00:04:21Faina by Somali pirates in
00:04:242008.
00:04:30He created Calby group holding in Panama from which dozens of offshore
00:04:34companies branched out that later covered up arms
00:04:37trading.
00:04:39From December 2007, the founder of Calby Group Mr.
00:04:43Urbansky combined his activities with the post of Deputy Minister of
00:04:46Transport of Ukraine. In
00:04:49office he had close ties with the head of Uker Spetz exports
00:04:52Sergey Bandarchuok who once said the following.
00:04:56Everyone knows very well that we don't sell bananas, pineapples. or any kind of
00:05:00children's toys, we sell weapons. Yes, we're also known in
00:05:04the world as arms dealers, but we must not be ashamed of that. A lot
00:05:07of people and businesses do it. It was
00:05:11the carlby group that... car
00:05:43accident, besides Malev, another
00:05:46Australian intermediary died, who carried out
00:05:50bank transfers and the fragment of planes from
00:05:53Gostomel, which flew with cruise missiles, that
00:05:57is, before us is a classic
00:05:59situation of liquidation and elimination
00:06:03of the main actors, moreover,
00:06:06the elimination was disguised as an accident.
00:06:08случай.
00:06:12arms apes a cheap mafia show, assassinations and
00:06:16abductions of those related to the business persisted for
00:06:20years. In April 1999, Baris
00:06:23Marusic, CEO of Ukrine mash, another of
00:06:27Ukraine's arms exporting state companies died in
00:06:30a car crash. In January 2004,
00:06:34Sergey Petrov, head of one of the arms trading companies was killed in
00:06:38a car explosion. In July 2007,
00:06:41Aleg Arlov.
00:07:12or a brick falling on their head, but they
00:07:15died.
00:07:18Ukraine at that time rose largely due to arms
00:07:22trade, and most importantly, Ukrainian
00:07:25business realized that it was not necessary to engage in
00:07:28the creation of economically viable enterprises,
00:07:31competitive with the West, but it was enough to have
00:07:35weapons and sell them. Everything was for sale, all types
00:07:38of weapons, tanks, multiple launch rocket systems,
00:07:41artillery, shells, ammunition, and so
00:07:44on. By the beginning of somewhere
00:07:47around 2000, all these weapons were sold out,
00:07:51everything went abroad, to Africa, to Latin America, but
00:07:54primarily to Africa, and to African countries,
00:07:58all of this, as a rule, weapons were sold to those
00:08:01states that were under UN sanctions, where generally
00:08:05arms exports were
00:08:06prohibited.
00:08:29Huts of bamboo and cane stand back to back, when
00:08:33neighbors are around, it's not so scary, the
00:08:36locals
00:08:39say, an imam invites. residents of the refugee
00:08:43camp for a sala.
00:08:46children play in the yard, women in colorful dress loudly
00:08:50share their news and cook together, just the everyday
00:08:53life of a typical African village, except that
00:08:56its residence, the hundreds of families who have settled here have
00:09:00miraculously escaped
00:09:01death.
00:09:08my name is, i am the chairman.
00:09:14internet displaced
00:09:16person, bochi state chapter, i'm almost 63
00:09:20years old, i a
00:09:23teacher by profession, i
00:09:27worked for 35
00:09:30retires,
00:09:32this i retired my service
00:09:352014, so it has collied with the boko
00:09:39haram's type of displacement.
00:09:43so I came to boat you.
00:09:47Bokuharam is one of the world's most ruthless Islamist groups.
00:09:51It's terrorized West Africa for decades. Boko
00:09:54Haram terrorizes northern Nigeria. On Saturday, the
00:09:58group killed more than 100 civilians in the northeast. An
00:10:02estimated 36000 Nigerians have been killed by Buko
00:10:05Haram over the past 11
00:10:06years.
00:10:11Surprisingly, no one. wondered for some time where this most
00:10:14blood thirsty of terrorist groups was sourcing their modern
00:10:18missiles and tanks
00:10:19from.
00:10:22the Nigerian army has captured a T-55. five armored tank and a high-tech
00:10:26armored personnel carrier or APC from islamist rebels in yesterday's battle in
00:10:30Kanduga, porno
00:10:32state.
00:10:37the weaponry used by the terrorist was terrifying and
00:10:40unusual, the locals had never seen anything like
00:10:44it.
00:10:49throw him in the ground, you will see the
00:10:52light of the gun that is being poured out.
00:11:03In autumn 2022, the president of Nigeria spoke about the Bokahara militant
00:11:06sources for the latest weapons.
00:11:10Regretably, the situation in the
00:11:13sahel and the region war in Ukraine
00:11:16serve as major sources of
00:11:19weapons and fighters, this illegal
00:11:22movement of arms into the region. has
00:11:25heightened the proliferation of small
00:11:28arms and light weapons, which continues to
00:11:32threaten our collective peace and security in the
00:11:35region.
00:11:38Nigeria remains one of the centers of international
00:11:41terrorism. Streams of weapons from Ukraine flow
00:11:45there and to other extremist groups across the Middle
00:11:48East. Out of the 36
00:11:51states we have in Nigeria,
00:11:53only a... about five are not
00:11:57experiencing serious
00:12:00kidnapping, serious security
00:12:03challenges, serious issues on
00:12:07kidnapping, banditry,
00:12:09destruction of communities, killings, the situation is
00:12:13terrible, the situation is getting out of hand,
00:12:18the insiders i have in the military
00:12:21confirmed that yes, there are certain weapons.
00:14:01Look, look, rockets
00:14:02are flying,
00:14:05no one spoke widely about this, and so on, in
00:14:08the corridors among knowledgeable people,
00:14:11quite often there were talks that,
00:14:13well, they went for this hack, because they knew that
00:14:17it would be revealed that there were some shortages,
00:14:21some losses.
00:16:13Radvan arrived in Italy to track down the participants in these
00:16:17schemes and who are said still to control a portion of the arms
00:16:20trade. Italy is favorite vacation spot for Ukrainian arms
00:16:24dealers. The first to settle here was Leonid Minin to
00:16:28enjoy the lap of luxury with views of ancient
00:16:30ruins.
00:16:37Minin owns two flats in the Monti Parioli district, a
00:16:40quiet pictureresk area inhabited by aristocrats where tourists
00:16:44rarely go. On real estate agencies websites, properties
00:16:48in this district are described in one word,
00:16:51luxurious. Leon ed that we will see
00:16:54today on a tour that we will take, is about the properties that he had
00:16:58in one of the most luxurious areas located
00:17:02in Rome. We will meet a real estate agent
00:17:06to tell us. The prices per square
00:17:09meter and the apartment he owned, knowing that he owned more than one apartment,
00:17:12the luxurious cars he owned, the yacht,
00:17:16even five cars for his wife, whom he was married to and who was
00:17:19living here, in addition to his relationship with the mayor of
00:17:22Odessa, who turned out to be one of the partners.
00:17:37this prestigious, the most luxury and the most
00:17:40expensive zone of the room after
00:17:43historic uh zone. when you said
00:17:46most prestigious
00:17:49or cost lot, what we are talking about, how
00:17:53many? yes, i think for the street where the
00:17:56mister minion has apartment, for the martelli
00:18:00is very very expensive apartments,
00:18:03so i think we can arrive even to pay two and th
00:18:06million.
00:18:13he was also well integrated into Roman society,
00:18:17so for example, his children
00:18:20attended a very very
00:18:23elite school in Rome, and in fact his
00:18:25son was a schoolmate of my friend's son,
00:18:29and so they were really well
00:18:32integrated.
00:18:37to another Ukrainian arms dealer. Gennady
00:18:40Truchanov is one of minion's closest associates.
00:18:44He's also the current mayor of Odessa, Ukraine's largest
00:18:47port. Normally the apartments are
00:18:51big here, not little, minimum three
00:18:54bedrooms in general.
00:18:57Normally 200, normally, and with big
00:19:01terraces and great views, because we are on the hill, and it is a
00:19:04particular zone of Rome. is living in this area
00:19:08as i heard yes, but i can
00:19:12say you exactly.
00:19:15this is dossier compiled by the Italian special services on
00:19:19minin and his criminal gang. the same Gennadi
00:19:22Truchanov is marked as one of minion's closest
00:19:25associates. he's known in the underworld by his nickname ginaer the
00:19:28weathervain. he's a former henchman of another arms
00:19:31dealer, alexander angelt,
00:19:34nickname.
00:20:50"It's unlikely that the former British PM was unaware of
00:20:53who awarded him the honorary title, as well as the fact that
00:20:57for decades, Ukraine's leadership and senior army
00:21:00officials have been involved in criminal schemes, selling
00:21:03weapons around the world, and we'll continue
00:21:06pushing to support and strengthen the
00:21:09Ukrainian military for the battles ahead. Since
00:21:122002, NATO countries have supplied tens of
00:21:16billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine, yet the U.S. and
00:21:20Europe persist in increasing military aid. Contact
00:21:23group led by the United States, NATO allies and
00:21:27partners have provided unpresented support to
00:21:30Ukraine. More than 98% of the
00:21:34combat vehicles promised to Ukraine have already been
00:21:38delivered. That means over
00:21:411,550 armored vehicles,
00:21:45230 tanks and other equipment,
00:21:49including vast amounts of
00:21:51ammunition.
00:21:58All this time, tried and tested smuggling schemes continue to
00:22:01operate like clockwork, and weapons are still being exported from
00:22:04Ukraine a massive
00:22:06scale.
00:22:11Native weapons from Ukraine pour into the dark net. The list of offers
00:22:15includes machine guns, barrage munitions, I explosive
00:22:19mines, the latest.
00:22:50understand, well, a serious military conflict, to
00:22:54this the representatives of this shop said no problem, they also
00:22:57assured us that they are ready to deliver it to Lebanon, that
00:23:01is, logistics, availability of weapons, these
00:23:04systematic supplies, well, this is a well-established working
00:23:07industry, and through these money shops within
00:23:11the Darknet, that is, we could theoretically,
00:23:14having, so to speak, an extra 15-20-3000
00:23:16dollars, acquire this...
00:23:50exclusive and powerful, a javelin that theoretically is sold
00:23:53only to the army, has been used during the invasion of Ukraine,
00:23:57for example, on the black market this weapon that you have
00:24:00on your right, another is an AK-47, on the right
00:24:04you have this weapon that costs on the black market between 2000 and
00:24:0860,000.
00:24:17Well, in this video shared by the Milenio group,
00:24:21particularly by Susana Uresti, we can see a member
00:24:25of the Gulf Cartel, of the group or cell of the
00:24:28Scorpions, of course they don't hide it, you can see it
00:24:32clearly on the bulletproof vest he is wearing, the
00:24:35symbol of the eagle, the phoenix and the scorpion, and the
00:24:38acronyms of course, also of the
00:24:41cartel. In that year, the Mexican National Guard
00:24:45found, seized an arsenal in the hands of
00:24:49another drug trafficking group, the Sinaloa Cartel,
00:24:53which included anti-aircraft weapons such as .50 caliber
00:24:56Barret rifles and a Javelin
00:24:59missile launcher, which are known to be being sent and
00:25:03used in Ukraine, and now,
00:25:06well, we also have the report from investigator Victor Hernandez, who
00:25:10indicates that yes, the weapons sent by Washington to the Ukrainian
00:25:13regime have ended up in Mexican territory, increasing
00:25:16the illegal arsenal of the cartels.
00:25:20all Javelin, there will be two more of the same, the weapon
00:25:24itself most often does not reach the front, that is, it is written off
00:25:28even before it is supposed to reach the front, and
00:25:31this is a question, well, exclusively
00:25:34formal, in this regard, senior officers
00:25:37of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine are involved, and of course
00:25:41those commanders who were supposed to receive these weapons at the front, their signatures
00:25:45are also needed there to legalize the entire scheme, throughout the
00:25:49SMO. We are becoming aware of facts that
00:25:52weapons that are supplied to Ukraine as
00:25:55military aid from Western countries, from European countries, and
00:25:59the United States, Great Britain, it is constantly.
00:26:32the 20th, 2023, US president Joe Biden sent another
00:26:36request to his country's Congress to approve financial aid to
00:26:40Ukraine, amounting to almost $62 billion
00:26:43dollars.
00:26:45Since February 2022, the European Union and the US have
00:26:49provided keive with more than
00:26:52aid, most of which was spent on buying
00:26:55weapons for the Ukrainian
00:26:57army.
00:27:49the west and the rest,
00:27:53privilege and fury,
00:27:57palaces and slums, old
00:28:00alliances, new centers of power,
00:28:04closed borders, open
00:28:06wounds, this is our reality, but between
00:28:10these opposing worlds, can we still find some
00:28:14common ground?
00:29:48to the people get the rulers they deserve, does democracy, as it
00:29:51is practiced in the west truly represent the will of the
00:29:55voters, consider the issue of war in peace, voters
00:29:59across the western world are most definitely against foreign.
00:30:02conflicts, nonetheless constant war is the north,
00:30:23our headline stories, this our anti-corruption agencies
00:30:27working in Ukraine expose deep and
00:30:30lucrative ties between criminal group. and high ranking
00:30:33members of the country security
00:30:37footage of those gangs involved in a savage attack is also
00:30:41released.
00:30:48as Ukrainian authorities seek to prosecute scores of protesters
00:30:51who clash with law enforcement after an alleged torture house
00:30:55people in donbas tell us such
00:30:59facilities there.
