Lithuania May Hand Over Detained Fire Trucks Intended For Zimbabwe To Ukraine
6 months agoSun, 22 Sep 2024 12:43:02 GMT
Lithuania is considering sending 17 fire engines to Ukraine that were originally intended for Zimbabwe.
According to BNS, Zimbabwe purchased the vehicles from Belarus last year, but they were impounded in Klaipėda, Lithuania, due to sanctions against Belarus.
Lithuania’s Prosecutor General, Nida Grunskienė, said that they are evaluating the possibility of transferring these fire engines to Ukraine, which is currently under attack from Russia. Said Grunskienė:
Yes, a pre-trial investigation is being conducted, and the prosecutor has decided if I’m not mistaken, that the 17 vehicles that were to be shipped to Zimbabwe should be confiscated and the issue of their possible delivery to Ukraine is being considered.
We have a decision by the prosecutor in which we are informing the Zimbabwean prosecutor’s office that these 17 fire engines have been confiscated because the company that manufactured these vehicles is subject to sanctions and Zimbabwe itself is also subject to sanctions.
She said Zimbabwe had also been informed of the decision through diplomatic channels. Added Grunskienė:
We are waiting to see if they will exercise their right to appeal.
Zimbabwe’s attorney general visited Lithuania this year to request the return of the vehicles.
Meanwhile, Lithuania’s neighbour Latvia regularly donates cars confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine.

Asinine sanctions....... we shall recall these when Zanu is no longer in power....and remind you how you let a majority down, by way of sanctioning a people in need over a mediocre strong arm regime. It would have been better to have them units landed here and see their mismanagement and or abuse, but they decide to aid Ukro Nazi at our expense.....we see you clearly

You make no sense. They are sanctioning the company that supplies them, not the people of Zimbabwe. You need some glasses. Ukro Nazis? You don't even know what Nazi means, or what they did. Don't use the word if you don't understand it. Regurgitating fascist propaganda.

This dictatorship knew of the sanctions against Belarus. They opted to play politics with our money. We had more pressing needs than that corrupt deal of overpricing and kickbacks.

That's always the prize of dealing with rogue states, look now.
theLastAntKing · 6 months ago
this is unfair to all Zimbabweans. Remember these fire engines were purchased more than double the normal price during the time of minister July Moyo & now we're hearing that they won't make it to Zimbabwe.
Had they done their homework about the issue?
Is the Belarus co. going to reimburse our government?
If not then the one who initiated the deal must be held accountable

If you form conspicuously strong ties with countries under strong sanctions and labelled rogue states by West and West aligned countries, you have in effect put yourself under sanctions too. The bog problem is that the world is now too polarised so poor countries have to be very careful how they deal on the international stage.

Zimbabwe has no need for those fire trucks as the country does not have enough water.They will serve Ukraine better than Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe bought the trucks without duw diligence.

You are an ****. America, Germany and British'' s finest are not in foreign land. Think carefully before you comment. Zimbabweans are all over the world why? Just like Nigerians. I have lived 25 years in Europe haven't seen people from south Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Tanzanian as much as Zimbabweans. Jewel of Africa turned into rubble.

The fire tenders wer acquired corruptly by the then minister July Moyo and forced down the throats of councils using devolution funds. Mind you they also had a highly inflated price tag. Just like the Geo Pomona garbage deal. These are all evils perpetrated by the zanu pf devils.

Fire trucks were impounded not because of sanctions against Zimbabwe. EU hasn't got any sanctions against Zimbabwe but beralus.

That's a best move by Lithuania, and they are better of in Ukraine were they will be in use rather than in Zimbabwe were they would not be used only to rot before being used as most of the time they will not have an fuel and also lack of knowledge on how to operate these firefighting vehicles on the firemen's side as most of them lack basic training on how to fight a grass fire.

DOUBLE STANDARDS. THEY POTRAY A VERY POSITIVE APPROACH TO ZIMBABWE BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE THEY RUIN ALL OUR EFFORTS TO PROGRESS. I HATE THEM TO THE BONE. SOME OF THOSE FIRE ENGINES WERE GOING TO IMPROVE OUR DILAPIDATED FLEET BUT LORD THE SO CALLED CIVILIZED WORLD IS ACTUALLY BABARIC , UNCIVILIZED WITHOUT ANY MANNERS AT ALL , VERY SELECTIVE AND ABOVE ALL, REASONING IN SAVAGE.

If Zimbabwe had purchased fire engined from an unsanctiondd country eg UK, there would be no problem. Any country that deals commercially with sanctioned countries like Belarus know full well what they risk.

Beralus is sanctioned by EU. But Zimbabwe isn't sanctioned by EU. So, beralus transporting it's exports through any EU country is prohibited. It can't bypass the sanctions they knew this very well but thought luthania will ignore it
