RE: Western arms supplied to Ukraine offered on darknet – RT investigation
https://www.rt.com/news/558263-ukraine-western-weapons-darknet/
quote from above article:
This potentially suggests that the Ukrainian arms smugglers may have already established contacts with border guards and are able to cross in and out of Poland without complications.
RT has also exchanged messages with another trader, nicknamed ‘weapons ukraine,’ who was looking to sell batches of US-made body armor at the price of $ 1,500 for five units, and M4 rifles with a silencer and a hundred bullets for $2,4000 thousand per set.
= potential weapons and human trafficking on poland / ukraine border through humanitarian aide organizations =
a small local newspaper in very liberal, central NC published a community interest interview with residents who traveled to ukraine border area earlier this year to "volunteer". but anon thinks there's a lot more to it.
center of activity for these guys seems to be world central kitchen run by chef jose adres (provide meals after natural disasters, founded in response to haiti earthquake). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Central_Kitchen
these guys also hooked up with an organization called task force 824 to shuttle supplies and people across borders.
https://www.tf824.org/
excerpts from the article, interview:
"In the town of Przemysl, Poland, just past the border with Ukraine, the World Central Kitchen is churning out thousands of meals each day to help feed Ukrainians fleeing the war brought by Russia."
"There’s not much communication other than once you show up, you’ll be put to work somehow."
"It’s first-class, highly organized, very efficient."
"And the truth is they’re well-funded."
"I’ve done some humanitarian work in the past. I had some friends, some former military, and also friends with the World Food Program, we had traveled in the past together. My buddy, who is a former Marine, had a friend who was on the ground providing humanitarian services over there."
"The guys I wanted to meet with also were in Przemysl, because it’s one of the main border crossings, bouncing between Lviv and Kiev in Ukraine."
"We went in and started out volunteering at World Central Kitchen and then transitioned to working with Gregg’s friend with Task Force 824."
"We were able to see this three-day-long line of vehicles waiting at the border to get across. … all the supplies were stuck on one side."
"The three of you spent time volunteering with Task Force 824, which is an organization of non-sanctioned individuals working together to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainian citizens affected by Russia’s invasion."
"What TF824 was doing was basically taking supplies the last mile to make sure they reach who needs them. … TF824, and some other groups like it, make sure that the supplies get to where they’re supposed to ultimately go. So now, when somebody donates something, it’s not being sold, as opposed to given.
'''TF824 would go out and take the materials, not to the frontlines, but close. … To the hotspots, and then bring people back. So he (Task Force 824 founder Quan Nguyen) is taking medical supplies and survival gear across the border into into hotsp ots, dropping it off, and then with the empty vehicle, returning people to the Poland border."' "
"mothers and children coming across the border with one bag and no idea where they're going"
"When we were at the orphanage (in Ukraine), it’s not just an orphanage. These kids were making ghillie suits (a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble the background). So, the arts and crafts time right now is making camouflage for the frontline. This is Easter, and the girls are making suture kits for surgeons on the front line."
"… the energy in that kitchen was fantastic. A bunch of really positive people, really talented people there for the right reason. Music was playing, celebrities and all sorts of people from all different walks of life from all over the world, from Australia to all over Europe. A lot from the U.S."
"The numbers are staggering. Of all the refugees, the number, I think, is 22 percent are seven years and younger. "
