France, Germany, and at least 10 other European nations sold £230million worth of military hardware and defensive kits to Moscow which was used by Kremlin during the war in Ukraine, an EU analysis revealed. The selling of the weapon systems was apparently 'illegal' under the EU embargo that bans the arms sale to Russia after the 2014 annexation of Crimea by the Russians. Primarily, France, Germany and Italy have exploited the loophole in the arms embargo and exported missiles, rockets, guns and bombs to Moscow, as first reported by UK's The Telegraph.
Didn't that stop years ago, circa 2020? France & Germany did a switcheroo now, sending military aid & equipment to Ukraine. But, the EU is still funding the war via the billions a week of Russian oil & gas dependency.
Hell On Eels It seems some Countries have ceased weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. This article is dated 2022 and indicates the USA has approved arms sales.
Western Europe is buying 1 billion Dollars of Russian oil and gas a day which is funding their War economy Destroying many Ukranian innocent lives as well as their economy. At the same time, these European countries and the USA are supplying funds in support of Ukraine..We are probably supplying China with Billions of tons of Iron Ore which may one day come back at us in Armanent form. At the same time, we are calling China a massive threat to us. How do you make sense of all that

The Ukraine War is a powerful example on how futile War is .No one wins anything and we still do it. Far to much power in very few hands.
Good to be able to at least get out to the service again.
Yeap. Was at the Parramatta service this morning.
A reasonable turnout.
I read Paris and Germany sent 230illion pound's of missiles and weapons to Russia to be used against the Ukraine s Money, money, money discusting
Tad could you please expand on that? Is there a link to this?

This is as foul as Australia and the US selling weapons to Saudi Arabia. The industrial military complex is always the winner.
