In Krasnodar (Russia), the FSB detained a citizen of Ukraine.

He allegedly fell into the sale of firearms, ammunition and explosives, the press service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory. The quantity of weapons and weapons withdrawn is not disclosed.

With regard to the detained citizen of Ukraine, a decision is made to initiate criminal proceedings.

Earlier Der Spiegel also wrote that the flow of weapons began from Donbass. In Ukraine, the influx of illegal weapons is attributed to bad "discipline in the army and a lack of control over volunteer battalions". The salary of the Ukrainian soldier is 250 euros, and the brigade commander - 570 euros. Sometimes the military decide to "earn extra money" by selling weapons illegally.

At the same time, the smuggling of weapons, which the Russian media call "the echo of the war," is also flourishing in the adjacent territories of Russia. The author writes that Moscow requires pro-Russian militants in Donetsk and Lugansk to control that the transferred weapons are not returned illegally back to Russia. Meanwhile, Ukrainian intelligence reported that on the "black market" of Donetsk appeared imported weapons from Russia. Russian special services conduct inspections among Russian soldiers who are fighting against Ukraine in the Donbass and often find a shortage of ammunition and small arms.
