Political analyst: American arms delivered to Ukraine will end up in the hands of the militiamen or be sold in the black market

Deputy Chairman of Ukrainian parliament Andriy Parubiy arrived in Canada and the USA with a list of arms that Kiev would like to obtain from overseas.  Political analyst from Donetsk working in Moscow now Vladimir Kornilov suggests that if such supplies are provided, the armaments will sooner or later end up in the hands of the militiamen, either as a result of their capture in combat, or it will be plainly sold to them.

The First Deputy Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Parubiy went to the US with the list of requests from the Ukrainian power-enforcing bodied.  Among other things rocket launchers are in the list.

“Non-lethal arms constitute a part of the list, including radars and drones, radios and signal suppression devices. As far as lethal arms are concerned, they are mostly anti-tank rocket launchers including Javelin”, Parubiy said in his interview to the Ukrainian service of the Voice of America.

“The move of the USA will be the decisive factor. As a result of this decision most European countries and Canada will join the initiative, I am sure of it, and will aid Ukraine more actively”, said the First Deputy.

Notably, most European leaders, who call for the peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbass, spoke against the deliveries of armaments to Ukraine.

Political analyst Vladimort Kornilov said in his interview to RT that Barack Obama will make the decision in regard to the supplies of arms to Ukraine in the nearest future. At the same time covert deliveries have been carried out already, stressed the expert.

“If the decision is taken, it cannot result in the radical turn in the situation in Ukraine, because, as Vladimir Putin rightly said, the arms are already being delivered from the West to Ukraine, and in the ATO zone US-made and European arms have already been found. That is, Americans are supplying Ukraine not only with armoured vests and army rations. Suffice is to say that recently the militiamen captured Humvee APC near Debaltsevo. We should not forget that a couple of weeks ago the British supplied their outdated APCs Saxon to Ukraine”, said the analyst.

According to the expert, arms deliveries will count against Ukrainian Army, as all the armaments will soon be either captured by the militiamen or sold to them.

“Certain people in Ukraine will in fact benefit from this having sold these arms either abroad, or to the militias themselves: such incidents had been observed already. However the deal will have symbolic implications of American direct involvement into the conflict, which will give the Russian Federation a free hand… Instead of trying to find peaceful solution, the Americans are seeking for the ways to throw in more lethal arms that will cause additional casualties,” states Kornilov.

The representatives of Ukraine have repeatedly travelled overseas bringing all kinds of materials with them. It became known recently that Ukrainian MPs provided American Congressmen with falsified photo evidence of the alleged Russian invasion in the territory of Ukraine. This resulted in an international scandal, and Senator John Inhofe had to justify his actions.

Political analyst Vladimir Kornilov said that such practice is typical for Ukrainian politicians, and Ukrainian media do not even feel compelled to comment on such scandals.

“Ukrainians always act this way. They did not even understand why a row blew out. MP Semyon Semenchenko brought the above mentioned photos to the US. Ukrainian media are so much used to publishing of fake images that they simply do not get the implications… The incident was page-one news in American media, and Ukrainian media did not react to it. If any comments did appear, they only managed to utter something like “So what?” concluded Kornilov.
