BREAKING: Putin Reveals ISIS Funded by 40 Countries, Including G20 Members
“I provided examples based on our data on the financing of
different Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) units by private
individuals. This money, as we have established, comes from 40 countries
and, there are some of the G20 members among them,” Putin told reporters.

In addition to discussing the need to stop the flow of donor money to
ISIS, Putin also reiterated the need to stop the illegal oil trade by
ISIS.
“I’ve shown our colleagues photos taken from space and from
aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil
and petroleum products,” he said.
“The motorcade of refueling vehicles stretched for dozens of
kilometers, so that from a height of 4,000 to 5,000 meters they stretch
beyond the horizon,” Putin said.
Putin has announced that he has shared intelligence with the other G20
member states, which reveals the 40 countries from which ISIS finances
the majority of their terrorist activities. The list reportedly included
a number of G20 countries.
