TL;DR Summary

Belgium is launching an investigation into whether weapons it sent to Ukraine, including SCAR assault rifles, have been used by pro-Ukraine Russian paramilitaries to launch attacks in Russia's Belgorod region. The investigation comes after footage showed fighters from pro-Ukraine Russian volunteer groups using Belgian-made weapons during an assault on Russian towns. Belgium approved its largest military aid package to Ukraine in January, worth €90 million, which included the SCAR assault rifles. The investigation aims to clarify whether the weapons were used for defensive purposes of the Ukrainian territory, as intended.
