MOSCOW (Dispatches) – NATO weapons supplied to Kyiv are being widely used in Israel, the Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has said.
“Well, well, my NATO friends, there you have it, don’t you? The weapons supplied to the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine are being widely used in Israel,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
Medvedev warned that this weaponry, “like the weapons left behind by the U.S. forces that fled Afghanistan,” would further be used uncontrollably in all trouble spots.
Medvedev noted that even before “the corrupt Ukrainian authorities were in the habit of trading everything they laid hands on.”
“They were stealing gas and oil, foods and materials. They were stealing everything that came their way. Further on it will only get worse. You should expect missiles, tanks, and airplanes from Kyiv to surface on the black market soon,” Medvedev pointed out, TASS reported.
The comments came as Western leaders are accused of hypocrisy over response to Palestine and Ukraine.
Many users said Western diplomats and media support the Ukrainians who defend their land, but label the Palestinians fighting against the Zionist regime as “terrorists”.
An illustration of a woman’s face, in which one eye is closed beside a Palestinian flag, and one eye open beside a Ukrainian flag, has been regularly shared as a symbol of the West’s alleged double standards in how the two conflicts are viewed.
Clips also emerged on social media from a CNN interview with Mustafa Barghouti, the general secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative, in which he posed the rhetorical question, “Why does the United States support Ukraine in fighting occupation – while here they support the occupier, who continues to occupy us?”
