According to a report by the Turkish outlet Haber Sol, citing the Rwandan portal Umuseke, Azerbaijan—with support from NATO countries—is supplying weapons to Ukraine through a complex smuggling scheme spanning three continents and allegedly involving Sudanese rebels.

Sources report that the shipments are organized by an industrial association operating under Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense. The transferred weaponry includes aerial bombs, man-portable air-defense systems, drone components, Tisas-brand pistols, and other equipment. The cargo is disguised as humanitarian aid and transits through Turkey and Sudan before being delivered to Ukraine via Germany.
