Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov and his Belgian counterpart Ludivine Dedonder discussed the alleged use of Belgian weapons by anti-Kremlin militias on Russian territory, news agency Belga said on June 15.

Belga reported that Reznikov confirmed that he has received a letter from Dedonder regarding the issue and that an "investigation has begun," promising to share the results upon completion.
