Ukraine’s military is set to receive the first of what may be hundreds of thousands of 155mm artillery shells as part of an international effort to forage foreign stockpiles as US efforts to send more aid remain hung up in Congress.
@Badeendje@LaFinlandia speculative: remember the #GRU blowing the Czech ammo depot? Perhaps they asked some weapons dealers (hey, desperate times…) where to ‘find’ things. The source will likely not be released…
I mean, you can make a case that it was an armed attack on a NATO member’s soil.
My impression that it is believed that it was supposed to actually blow up in Bulgaria or something, and there was some sort of mix-up that caused the shipment to be detonated when it did, but that doesn’t change the objection.
