Russian` supplies of armament

We remind you that now Ukraine is resolving the issue of transferring evidence of the use of Russian weapons in the Donbas to international courts. International courts should prosecute persons involved in war crimes on the territory of Ukraine.

During the investigative actions of the Security Service of Ukraine, the facts of the supply of weapons and ammunition from Russia to militants in the occupied territory were documented.

Among the seized military means of defeat of Russian production are the RPO-A Shmel (rocket-propelled Infantry Flamethrower-A Bumblebee), the Okhota explosive complex and anti-personnel mines, which are prohibited by the 1997 Ottawa Convention.

In addition, the facts of use by militants against Ukrainian troops in the East of Ukraine, modern Russian weapons, are documented. Among the identified samples is a reusable hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher RPG-32 Barkas.
