Just to add to this, Interpol’s Secretary General, Jürgen Stock, warned of this early on in the war [1]:
“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 neighbouring countries but to other continents.”
It seems like they aren't worried about it now more after the war.
> Jürgen Stock says once the conflict ends, a wave of guns and heavy arms will flood the international market and he urged Interpol’s member states, especially those supplying weapons, to cooperate on arms tracing.
Seems a bit disingenuous to suggest that the NATO secretary general thinks weapons are being trafficked now when thats not at all what they said.
“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 neighbouring countries but to other continents.”
