Europeans (but not only), brace yourselves 😳 This report by Swiss NGO Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GITOC) looks at the risk of a massive increase of weapons that could arrive in Europe after the end of the conflict in Ukraine. ▪️This will lead to an increase in violence in Western countries. ▪️The cessation of hostilities could trigger a wave of serious arms smuggling from the conflict zone. ▪️Lifting martial law in Ukraine could lead to a reduction in state control and allow criminal networks to expand. ▪️Experience gained during the war, including skills in using drones and conducting special operations, could radically change the methods and scale of organized crime. globalinitiative.net/analysis/future-trends-in-arms-trafficking-from-the-ukraine-conflict
