After an earlier raid inside Russia, Nikitin, through his fashion brand's Telegram channel, described his enemy as "the multi-racial and imperialistic Putin regime," the Telegraph reported. Under the terms of US military aid, Ukraine is strictly forbidden from transferring American military gear to a third party.
