French soldiers, assigned to Task Force Wagram, fire a French Ceasar in support of Operation Roundup, in Al Quim, Iraq, May 16, 2018.
According to the Belarusian president, Alexander Lukashenko, the Ukrainian authorities have sold to the Russians two Caesars self-propelled howitzers delivered by France.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed on Thursday that Russia had managed to get its hands on two Caesars self-propelled howitzers delivered by France to Ukraine, assuring that they had been sold to Moscow. France has already delivered 12 of these highly advanced systems and six more are on their way to Ukraine.
“Russia knows how you deliver your Caesars there, and as soon as they arrive, they will be covered by the (Russian) high-precision weapons. Think about whether it’s worth it,” he said, in an exclusive interview with AFP in Minsk’s Palace of Independence.
“And the ones that will come, they will sell them to Russia. You know, right, that two Caesars systems were sold by the Ukrainian authorities to Russia? In Russia, they have already been dismantled in a tank factory, and there they are looking at what can be used. This is a fact,” said the Belarusian president, Moscow’s main ally.
The Belarusian president, called on the West to stop arming Ukraine, which has been at war with Russia since Vladimir Putin launched a preemptive offense against its neighbor on February 24. It should not come as a surprise since Ukraine has been plagued by corruption on all levels of government and has been a longtime hub for arms trafficking.

The Caesar truck-mounted artillery system is a 155 mm Self-Propelled Howitzer and is generally operated by a 5-man crew and was created to support rapid deployment forces. The Caesar is equipped with a 155 mm, 52 caliber barrel and can fire 6 to 8 rounds per minute in sustained fire or can fire 3 rounds in 15 seconds in rapid fire. The weapon system has automatic hydraulics and a semi-automatic loading mechanism that permits it to be operational in less than 1 minute. It can hit targets over 40 kilometers (25 miles) using Base Bleed ERFB ammunition or targets over 55 kilometers (34 miles) by using rocket assisted or smart ammunition. It uses navigation, aiming and ballistic calculation system that facilitates the firing of the weapon. The vehicle can travel at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) on roads and at a speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) off-road. It can also be flown to its destination in a transport aircraft.
In April, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation has recognized that weapons are already being sold on the black market from Ukraine to a multitude of groups.
Last month, the secretary general of Interpol, Jürgen Stock, has warned about the weapons being sold on the black market.
“We can expect an influx of weapons in Europe and beyond. We should be alarmed and we have to expect these weapons to be trafficked not only to neighboring countries but to other continents.” said Stock.
Countries that donated weapons to Ukraine also have no way of tracking them or enforcing that they are not sold to third parties, while NATO is struggling to find a solution to the problems it has created.
Reports of Ukrainian weapons falling in the hands of other countries and different groups will be common for years to come and will be a concern for global security when criminal and terrorist groups get their hands on them, which will intensify armed conflicts and terrorist attacks across the world.
Everything the west has done so far has bitten them in the throat. I bet NATO weapons sold on the black market in Ukraine will create serious problems for years to come. Justice will be ugly.
As Hungarian PM Orban said, the west ha lost war and should let Ukraine negotiate a peace deal that guarantees Russian interests. The US and UK should stop arming Ukraine that simply can not win against the Russian superpower. All this NATO meddling is prolonging Ukrainian suffering and causing economic hardship to Europe, while rest of the world supports Russia and will never impose any “sanctions”.
Viktor Orban doubled down on positions that have brought him into conflict with the European Union, the US and even his former political allies in Poland, who are be used as pawns in pushing Russophobia. He said the West’s strategy in Ukraine — including economic sanctions on Russia and the provision of military aid — has failed and Europe is increasingly isolated.
Well, Donald Trump is saying the same thing and called EU a parasite that has not done anything while the US is going broke with a $37 trillion debt and economic bankruptcy.
During his term, the US had “no problem” with Russia, China or North Korea, and “nobody even talked about” Ukraine, the ex-president claimed.
Trump is a self-promoting blowhard. He makes stuff up on the fly, says anything that he thinks will play to his supporters and can spin his positions on a dime, wherever he sniffs advantage.
Totally untrustworthy and just a grifter of another sort. I can’t believe how easily Americans of all persuasions are so easily persuaded by con men. America is screwed any way you cut it.
Absolutely correct. America was run by the same masonic gang of satanists in his mandate as in the any others was and …will be. Only a broken wind mill.
Viktor Orban is a real maghyar patriot who put country interests before everything. He have long term goals and he know that without Russia support will never achieve it. I mean about the Great Hungary country, meaning reattaching legally some other former hungarian lands now part of neighboring countries. The first target is romanian Transylvania, a long time hungarian run region with a substantial maghyar population. And this is glued with the another romanian problem-province of Republic of Moldavia. he knows that Romania NEVER get Rep. Moldavia (with many russian ethnics) without Kremlin approval. And if he play hard and smart can ‘TRADE’ Transylvania for Rep. Moldova, which will be a fantastic upgrade of Hungary and a fantastic downfall of Romania.
1 million hungarians and six millions romanians in Transilvania. Pamfil, why do you lie?
Now I remember your hate spewing long speach about the Maramuresan folks (ancient dacs, the ancestors of romanians today) who cut the throats of inocent mogiorosh . I will comment with the same reply: there are no pure race in Europe except in the mind of a pure Nazi.
Russia is no longer this great super power it once was! Russian Phobia also includes not shaking in your shoes every time they make a threat or statement! The whole war is filled with corruption on both sides looking for personal gain as always. War is a money maker!
Two more American mercenaries dead in Donbas region of Ukraine.

Thats good.
Slava Rossiya.

It is wealth transfer upwards, nothing more.
From stupid taxpayers into the same pockets who make decisions.
It will be karma indeed when the gangs in NATO countries are armed with thousands of ATGM’s and Manpads etc that NATO has supplied to Ukraine.
LOL
How funny that my idea how it’d happened before reading the article has turned out identical to this report.. Well there’s no surprise knowing that arms trade is now a common practice among valiant ukronazi military. Garage sale everyday featuring brand new western weaponry avoiding fratricide.
Russian engineers are having a field day everyday since this war started
Yes, they must think Christmas care of NATO and the US has come early this year.
Where are the images ?
Recycling old news now? The Putin cockroaches have been trying to milk the same old news of the same two lunatics who sold the same two howitzers to the Putin terrorists. It’s old news, dude. Zelensky has already implemented a nationwide crackdown of anybody who tries to smuggle weapons to the shitty Russian army.

Seriously you are the shittiest troll and the dumbest fucking loser PoS alive. You are not trolling anyone pathetic cretin, you just reek of stupidity, misery and failure. That’s the only reason why anyone even notice your sad turdish existence: you STINK.
The same Putin cockroach copy pasting the same deranged message over and over.

All of ZOG’s horses and all of ZOG’S men…. screwing with Russia any way they can.
Nothing new technology wise but will give RU ability to mass produce and replicate it to add to Army stockpile :)
War is horrible. But this limited military operation has given Russian Aerospace industry and engineers ability to fine tune, upgrade and tweak their radars, electronic warfare systems, missile guidance systems, and more. The experience/knowledge gained is immense and will allow Russia to be better prepared against drones and rocket attacks in future. They’ve been fighting against entire NATO artillery, anti-aircraft, anti-tank, long range anti-ship missiles and long range rocket systems since day 1.
100% correctly
Russian aerospace? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Best joke of the usar 🤣
Put a lid on it,subsonic keweer lethargic fascist gimp,Nazis as you are the joke of the year,fkn drr!
US has been planning to destroys Russia Ukraine and EU even EU because EU is competitor of US’s trade.
The US will only be able to trade with itself in the future because the greater world despises Israel and the US,
Slava Rossiya
pitiful senile retired janitors Sawyer, rat driver, jens, USA #1 lgbt hacker come to SF believing they can pay trannys rubles for sodomy lessons
US has been planning to destroys Russia Ukraine and EU, even EU because EU is competitor of US’s trade.
Ukraine has conducted more than 5 mobilizations, got 16 aid packages from USA/all of NATO worth $60 billion. Still losing and cannot mount a successful large scale counterattack. Meanwhile Russia has used under 150,000 troops total, no mobilization let alone partial mobilization, barely 10% of total military might, and controls almost 25% of Ukraine. Russia is winning militarily and economically. UKROPS saying Russia running out of tanks meanwhile they’ve barely used 7% of total main battle tank inventory. And UKROPS have to beg for a toy tank let alone real ones and Poland/Slovakia depleting their arsenal to supply Ukraine lol.
Hahahah
In Soviet Union Lada drives you. In modern Ukraine, you sell your stock to your opponent.
Time for some good old reverse engineering. Slava Russia!

Lets be honest guys, russia being destroyed in last weeks by himars in kherson and donbas and that why they must to sell some cheap propaganda story to boost up their morale and hide their incompetence :D
I long for the day when a fully functioning HIMARS unit will show up on Russian TV. Chances are it will happen.
The Ukrainian government is corrupt and has been since the breakup! Nothing has changed just different faces of new crooks! The every day people are the best and deserve an honest governing leadership which this current one is not!
