People are keep sharing this like a "major NATO failure"..
it's not as the capture of the equipment is inevitable and NATO does this knowingly as ukrainians are able to have more impact than with what ruzzia is able to capture #WarInUkraine

Boomerang. It seems that #Russian special forces are using western supplied weapons, seized from #Ukraine️ forces, against Kiev's fascist brigades in the #Donbas region.

@kreyren that isn’t issue as US has no problem leaving weapons for Taliban or ISIS.
for me it is more so having US government thinking / pretending that pumping billions of dollars of weapons into any war torn part of the world will actually solve anything.
Only agenda that is consistent is destabilization of any opposing power be dammed any human costs.
@Zachary NATO/US is not the authority to address Tigray war.
That is for UN to handle which they are already doing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigray_War#Intergovernmental_organizations] where i am convinced that we are doing everything we can to restore long-term peace and security there atm if you have suggestions then share them, but note that not all wars have military solutions with NATO deploying it's troops and equipment to maintain peace.
The difference with ukraine war is that ruzzia is a permanent UN security member which undermines UN and the world peace so this scenario is projected to handle with de-escalation and restoring the UN authority or WW3.
Currently NATO is the directly responsible force to address this aggression and at the current pace we basically destroyed russia without a kynetic war as their economy is beyond fucked (only holding through things like 20% interest rates and projected to crash within weeks)
for comparison the international response would be same to what UN is doing in tigray if it wasn't permanent UN Security council member.
@kreyren Do you think the US/NATO should be sending weapons to Ethiopia over the Tigray war? Tens of thousands killed and millions displaced in last two years.
Seems to me the difference is geopolitics, Russia is still a power of sorts, so lots of willingness to sacrifice Ukrainian blood to weaken them.
