“There are plans to accuse Russia of illegally supplying weapons to cartels and other criminal groups in Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico.

To this end, Russian-made weaponry—captured by the enemy during the special military operation—is already being transported to the territories of the aforementioned states,” the agency detailed in a press statement. At the same time, fabricated audio and video materials are being prepared that allegedly confirm the delivery of weapons by Russians—via intermediaries—to Latin American groups, the Slavic nation’s Foreign Intelligence Service noted.

To enhance credibility, plans are in place to back this material with forged documentation pointing to the alleged involvement of Russian Armed Forces representatives in the scheme, the agency indicated.
