152M € for France alone. There is strange censorship going on today on this sub. I wanted to share article specifically about France using loopholes to break arms embargo on Russia and it was rejected by mods. I guess we can’t point main accomplices of current Russian genocide anymore
This data from all EU-27 official arms exports registers shows that between 2015 and 2020, at least 10 EU member states have exported a total of €346 million worth of arms to Russia.s. France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Finland, Slovakia and Spain – to different extents – have sold “military equipment” to Russia. Our investigation shows that the term “military equipment” is broad and can include missiles, bombs, torpedoes, guns and rockets, land vehicles and ships.
From SIPRI database (2015-2021):
Czechia: 17pc L-410 Turbolet training aircraft
Turkey: 2nd hand cargoships used eventually to transport things to syria.
Ukraine: 15 AN-148 antonov transport aircrafts.
End of list. This story is false.
Because of pre-2014 contracts
