Kotsnews forwarded from Komsomolskaya Pravda: KP.RU The Ukrainian plane that crashed in Greece was carrying NATO weapons for sale to Hezbollah Recall that the
Ukrainian An-12 of the Meridian airline crashed on the evening of July 16 after a fire that broke out in the engine. According to the official, there were approximately 12 tons of “probably dangerous” cargo on board.
But no signs of remnants of chemical weapons or nuclear materials could be found. The An-12 was not carrying weapons of mass destruction, but not training mines, as official authorities said, but a completely different cargo.
According to information published in the well-informed Telegram channel NEZYGAR, the plane was transporting weapons that Ukraine resold from its stocks received from Western countries (stingers, javelins, AKs with ammunition, etc.) to the military wing of the Middle East Hezbollah through the Serbian organized crime group, by a long route through Syria and Jordan (to elude the attention of the Russian Aerospace Forces). The value of the contract is 9 million US dollars, of which 3 million have already been transferred as an advance to accounts in the UAE.
As NEZYGAR writes, the CIA shared information about the flight with weapons for Hezbollah with the Mossad. And then it was already a matter of technology for one of the most formidable special services of our time ...
It turns out that, firstly, Ukraine resells weapons to NATO, and secondly, the CIA has access to the deepest secrets of Ukrainian intelligence, including about these resales. It is possible that the United States themselves have a share in this, writes our journalist Alexander Grishin

July 18, 2022 3:40 am Ukrainian plane that crashed in Greece was carrying NATO weapons for sale to Hezbollah
The crash of the An-12 suggests that Kyiv is not only selling weapons that the West supplies to it, but also clearly sharing profits with agents from the United States
With the Ukrainian An-12 transporter that crashed a couple of days ago in Greece, things may not be so simple. Although Serbian officials have stated that Belgrade has not been supplying any weapons and ammunition to Ukraine for several years, and the plane’s route ran from this Balkan country to Jordan, the Ukrainian trace in this whole story could be very significant. Like the trace of a couple of special services of the countries of the “Western world”.
UKRAINIAN MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PROVIDES… Recall, the An-12 cargo plane of the Ukrainian airline “Meridian” crashed on the evening of July 16 in Greece, about 12 kilometers from the small town of Kavala. According to the official, there were approximately 12 tons of “probably dangerous” cargo on board. In any case, the Greek rescuers who arrived at the scene were at first not allowed to carry out work, limiting their presence to at least a kilometer to the nearest flaming hearths, due to the secondary detonation of the cargo residues, and after the secondary detonation they were dressed in airtight just in case suits. What terrified both the locals and the world press. But no signs of remnants of chemical weapons or nuclear materials could be found. Which is not surprising, since the An-12 was not carrying weapons of mass destruction, but not training mines, as the authorities said,
According to information published by the well -informed NEZYGAR Telegram channel , the plane was carrying weapons that Ukraine resold from its stocks received from Western countries.
“More than a hundred Nlow ATGMs, 55 Stingers and about a hundred more Javelin ATGMs, as well as 500 Kalashnikov assault rifles and BKs for them,” NEZYGAR said. According to him, all these weapons were sold on June 28 by a representative of the military intelligence of Ukraine (GUR) on the direct order of the head of the GUR, Kirill Budanov, to the military wing of the Middle East Hezbollah. The deal went through a Serbian organized crime group, which specializes in weapons smuggling. The cost of the contract, including the goods themselves, their transportation and commissions to Serbian smugglers, amounted to 9 million US dollars, of which 3 million were already transferred as an advance to accounts in the UAE.
Why such a route, why left hand right ear? Why was it necessary to smuggle the entire consignment first to Serbia by ground smuggling, and then fly from Serbia to Jordan, so that Hezbollah representatives there could pick up the purchased weapons and smuggle them to Palestine through their smuggling corridors? Wouldn’t it have been easier for Ukraine’s military intelligence to load the aircraft somewhere in their own country, where they can ensure complete confidentiality and guarantee the absence of interest and potential third-party observers? The answer is simple. Ukrainian planes cannot now fly over the territory of Ukraine due to a special operation carried out by Russia, and, accordingly, every takeoff, even from an airfield in western Ukraine, is monitored by Russian Aerospace Forces in real time. But just a plane of a Ukrainian company, if it flies not to Ukraine, no one is particularly interested. Airlines from Ukraine now fly all over the world, except for their home country - because of the above reasons, trying to make money on anything.
LONG ARMS OF “MOSSAD”? But what appeared to be the strength of the deal turned out to be its main weakness. According to the Telegram channel, Biden’s current visit to Israel played a fatal role for the An-12 pilots and those behind the deal. His team concluded a strategic cooperation agreement between the American CIA and the Israeli Mossad. And, most likely, it was after this (or for this) that the Americans, according to NEZYGAR, shared information about this delivery with the Israelis. Well, then it was already a matter of technology for one of the most formidable intelligence services of our time, one of the main specializations of which is precisely the fight against Hezbollah.
If this is so, then the Israelis, of course, are a little underdeveloped. It would be better for all participants in the transaction and the action if the plane simply disappeared over the Aegean Sea, over which it was flying at the time of a malfunction (fire) in the engine. But the crew really wanted to live and they almost managed to save themselves and the plane itself. And now, after the “black boxes” have been found, the public and the media will demand disclosure of information, investigations, etc.
But now a very interesting moment is revealed. Even two.
The first is that Ukraine resells the weapons it receives from NATO on an industrial scale. Air flights.
And the second - if American intelligence shared such information with the Mossad, then Budanov’s entourage is simply stuffed with CIA employees or agents who have access to the deepest secrets of Ukrainian intelligence and the Ukrainian president’s team. And this means that US agencies have all the information on the arms trade carried out on a wholesale scale by the Ukrainian military. By the way, it is possible that with the sanction or blessing of the American special services and with the direct participation of representatives of these special services. Maybe for a “small share” and personally for himself a gesheft, maybe “in the interests of the state.” Moreover, similar stories have already been in the history of the United States. We can recall, for example, the scandal with the Iran-Contra deal. She left the “black zone” after how in October 1986 an American military transport C-123 was shot down in the sky over Nicaragua. The US Secretary of Defense, one admiral and the US Deputy Secretary of State were even involved in that scandal, who was even convicted for this combination, but was pardoned by President Bush. As for the CIA, there were simply dozens of Agency agents involved in the program.

Yes.
Ukraine is not going to win. I wish it could but it will not. It is trying to fight a war on charity and attrition. It has won some amazing victories, like sinking a Slava class cruiser, but they are being ground down. The sooner the Russians win, the sooner Ukrainians stop dying. So, “Go Russia.”
Another thing we have accept is that are likely no good guys in this war. Good people dying to protect their corrupt government just makes me sad.
If I was actually enthusiastic about the Russians it would be more like “GO RUSSIA!” which it is not. The Russians saw an existential threat and moved to deal with it. A lost this fault rests with us. We’ve been talking about “weakening Russia” and using Ukraine to do so. You keep poking a bear and it mauls you - what did you expect?
Trump reminded us repeatedly, we were being ripped off and robbed by NATO...
Funny how that seems to work.
Possibly one of the reasons I am so glad we’re out Afghanistan and don’t care about the Afghanis.
That is the way. There probably wouldn’t even be a war if kept that attitude.
Nope.
Just tired of people dying for stupid reasons. I like the Ukrainians and am amazed by their response to their nation’s call.
I don’t like their government and don’t consider it worth their lives.
There ain’t a good guy in this war, just good people trapped between two corrupt regimes.
in this report,
https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/CPI2021_Report_EN-web.pdf
Ukraine is rated at 32 out of 100 (100 being perfect) in corruption levels. In other words, very corrupt.
RUSSIA IS 28, SLIGHTLY WORSE.
The Ukrainians seem to be a good, brave people crushed between two corrupt regimes.
Propoganda straight from Russian “intelligence”.
Knowing who your sources are makes a difference in what you believe.
We’re only 67 on that list? We should probably rank lower. Our Congresscritters have probably stolen billions.
If people believe that from whatever source, I cannot speak for them. I personally wouldn’t believe anything coming from ABC, NBC, or the NYT, never mind CNN, and some obscure “Russian Tabloid” might be on another planet for all I care. I don’t believe ANY media ANYWHERE. None. I may have to parse it to find a grain of truth the same way Soviet citizens used to parse the excrement from Pravda to obtain a husk of truth, but that is my business, since it is my time.
That said, whether I believe it coming from a Russian news source is one thing, and I don’t, because I don’t care where it came from.
Whether I think Zelensky and the entire Ukrainian government are corrupt pieces of New World Order crap, and are happy to take our money meant for munitions or other things and stick it in their bank accounts or sell the things we give them for money is quite another thing.
And I believe those scum running Ukraine, being all in bed with Soros and the Dems, and modeling themselves after the likes of Trudeau in Canada (who is quite the fan of Soros and those a-holes who mean our country ill and wish to destroy it) are FULLY CAPABLE of that level of corruptness. And I have plenty of “real news” commentary, footage, and imagery showing fully that I am right on target with the likes of Zelensky and Trudeau, not to mention the Democrat Party.
After all they are in such an existential fight for survival that they have to take the time to announce to the world they are going to legalize homosexual marriage. Yes, those are the people I want to send 40 Billion USD to, with zero oversight and no strings attached.
Anyone who believes anything coming directly from any media source anywhere in this world today is mentally deficient or abysmally lazy.
Or a Leftist.
Or all three.
Ha, Ha, Go Russia!
Yea, sure sounds like it...........
Russia will not defeat Ukraine—their own corruption will sink them in the end.
I meant it as in “Pocket Change for A Puppet”.
There's buzz on the Greek sandal telegraph about this, according to Alex Christoforou.
The problem is that Russia has more to be corrupt with. When the last Ukrainian tank is destroyed, their last artillery piece is silenced and their soldier is dead, there will still be Russians.
Sometimes you get a no-win situation.
Screw them ALL, kick the plug out and let it all go down the drain. I AM sick of this crap and believe we’re all being played for fools by all sides, especially our own.
From a Russian source. No conflict there.
The article is from Komsomolskaya Pravda. The inventors of fake news.
The problem is that Russia has more to be corrupt with. When the last Ukrainian tank is destroyed, their last artillery piece is silenced and their soldier is dead, there will still be Russians.
It’s the opposite, actually. When the guns go silent there will be still be a Ukraine and thousands dead of Russians will never see their homes again.
And by the way-just to be clear-if you detected a degree of anger and pithiness in my response to you, it was not directed at your observation.
Anyone who is not cognizant of the essence of your post needs to be reminded.
My anger is directed at this situation in both Russia and Ukraine, and for a variety of reasons, all leading back to this country and how we are conducting ourselves.
I am filled on a daily basis with a great deal of anger, and I work hard to put things in proper context and think them through. I don’t always succeed wholly, but it is not for lack of effort.
