Since the beginning of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Kiev has received a substantial amount of US security assistance, reaching tens of billions of dollars. Numerous officiclas from different countries have warned of the harm that could be caused by the illegal spread of the weapons sent to Ukraine.
Sputnik has recently acquired screenshots of DarkNet advertisements that make explicit reference to C-4 charges. These alarming findings strongly suggest that certain individuals in Ukraine are not only diverting military supplies, but also engaging in illegal arms trading activities.
The evidence found supports earlier claims that Western weapons destined for Ukraine are ending up elsewhere. Specifically, into the hands of militants in the Gaza Strip.

It is estimated that 10-15% of weapons delivered to Ukraine are illegally re-exported to the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Africa, the director of the Center for Analysis of World Arms Trade (CAWAT), Igor Korotchenko, told Sputnik earlier this year.
In October, the US Congress received a request from the Biden administration to sent a $106 billion supplemental aid package for Israel and Ukraine, as well as money for US border security. In particular, the White House's request includes $61.4 billion aid for Ukraine, with another $14.3 billion intended for Israeli aid as a growing number of US polls show declining support for aid to Kiev.
The lastest aid package, the 48th of its kind, amounted to $200 million, the same amount as in 2021, before the start of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. Moscow has warned US and its allies countries that they are "playing with fire" by supplying arms to the Kiev regime.
