The Russian Federal Customs Service stated on Friday that it detained on its territory containers with uniforms for Ukrainian troops that had been on a transit route by way of China to Poland.
The paperwork accompanying the cargo claimed it was sportswear, however throughout an inspection on the Zabaikalsk railway checkpoint within the Russian Far East, the customs officers grew to become suspicious in regards to the contents of the packing containers, head of the native customs workplace Vladimir Ignatiev advised a news convention within the metropolis of Chita.
“At the railway checkpoint, all containers are being scanned. And the scanning showed that they are not exactly sportswear in terms of fabric density and other parameters. One container was randomly chosen, and opened, and there were bags with addresses to Ukraine. They were packed with uniforms with the symbols of the Ukrainian army,” he stated.
A complete of eight containers have been impounded, and their contents are being checked, Ignatiev stated.
“The manufacturer is not indicated on the tags, but it is written in Ukrainian that it is a military uniform. We will continue to inspect it for about another week,” he stated.
Russia launched its “special military operation” in Ukraine in February 2022. The West took Ukraine’s aspect and has been offering unprecedented financial, humanitarian and financial help to Kyiv ever since. Most of the cargo come to Ukraine through Poland.
