[Regnum] Attempts by the West to accuse Russia of involvement in supplying Hamas with weapons and ammunition are speculations, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on October 14 , whose commentary was published on the department’s website. According to her, Russia has created one of the most effective and practically and legislatively proven export control systems in the implementation of military-technical cooperation (MTC) with foreign partners. “In contrast, the worldwide hunt for Soviet/Russian weapons and ammunition launched by NATO countries, their partners and satellites, as well as their unbridled desire to support the combat effectiveness of the armed formations of the Kiev regime by any means indicate precisely their irresponsible approaches in the field of interstate transfers of military weapons,” - emphasized the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Zakharova emphasized that the cynicism and permissiveness of the “collective West” led by the United States is off the charts. There is both outright forgery and the use of “gray” schemes when buying on the world market everything that could somehow support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “In reality, everything that was delivered to the thoroughly corrupt Kiev regime by its Western masters is spreading uncontrollably throughout the world,” she noted. The representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry added that not only Ukrainian officials and criminal structures are profiting from this, but also transnational syndicates and, naturally, Western authorities obsessed with anti-Russian sentiments. Zakharova has already noted that US policy based on the theory of “controlled chaos” has led to an aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. According to her, the United States, with its significant intelligence potential, could not help but know that a large-scale operation against Israel was being prepared in the region. During the preparations, such capabilities were involved that it was impossible not to see it from satellites. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that weapons transferred by Western partners to Ukraine are actively used in Israel. The Deputy Chairman of the Security Council warned that things will only get worse and that missiles, tanks and planes from Kyiv will appear on the black market. As Regnum reported, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in response to an unprecedented rocket attack from the enclave on the morning of October 7, and also announced a blockade of Gaza. The military wing of Hamas announced Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. The number of dead and wounded on both sides is growing . On October 13, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the CIS that Israel “was subjected to an attack unprecedented in its cruelty” and has the right to ensure its peaceful existence. The President of Russia emphasized that first of all it is necessary to stop the bloodshed, and stated that there is no alternative to resolving the conflict through negotiations. Russia is ready to mediate in resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and advocates the implementation of the “two-state formula” adopted by the UN. We are talking about the creation of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem, Putin added. Previously, he called Israel's settlement policy one of the reasons for the explosion of violence in the Middle East. |
