Kyiv, Ukraine – Media reports have revealed that French-made military equipment is being offered for sale on websites within Ukraine. This incident has sparked widespread controversy and raised questions about the fate of Western aid provided to Kyiv.
Images circulating online showed helmets, protective vests, and night-vision goggles bearing French manufacturing markings. This equipment was being offered at varying prices, raising concerns about the diversion of military supplies to the black market.
These developments come at a time of increasing Western military aid to Ukraine. This highlights the challenges of oversight and ensuring that weapons reach the front lines and not arms dealers or intermediaries.
Paris has not yet issued an official comment. Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities have pledged to launch an urgent investigation to trace the source of the equipment and verify the authenticity of the online claims.
