dat logic.
afaik international regulations forbid selling weapons to countries engaged in war conflicts. I can't really believe that all the equipment used by the pro-russian terrorists is the 'ex-ukrainian' gear captured after the Revolution. And to be it doesn't really matter if this is russian gear operated by russians or russian gear operated by the terrorists. One of the leaders of the terrorists already declared that they wouldn't stop unless their two so-called 'republics' were given independence or incorporated to russia. Can't see that happening while not being supported by russia.
(unless they have their own factories etc).
Besides you keep forgetting that Russia imposed counter-sanctions which might not have been noticed yet in your sleepy and blissful Suffolk or Tyne and Wear.
