The U.N.’s High Representative for Disarmament Affairs on Monday cautioned all states involved in arms transfers in the context of the war in Ukraine to act responsibly in order “to prevent diversion, illicit trafficking and misuse.”
Izumi Nakamitsu told the United Nations Security Council that, “over the last months, the provision of military assistance and transfers of arms and ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces have continued” and have reportedly included “heavy conventional weapons such as battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, combat aircraft, helicopters, large-caliber artillery systems, missile systems and uncrewed combat aerial vehicles, as well as remotely operated munitions, small arms and light weapons and their ammunition.”
She said there were also reports of “States transferring, or planning to transfer, weapons such as uncrewed aerial vehicles, ballistic missiles and ammunition to the Russian armed forces and that these weapons have been used in Ukraine.”
