The Director of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), Adedeji Ebo, today (31 Oct) told the Security Council both Russia and Ukraine have continued to receive arms, ammunition and other forms of military assistance, and urged all concerned “to refrain from any steps that may lead to further spill over and intensification of the war.”
Ebo said the armed forces of Ukraine have reportedly received “heavy conventional weapons such as battle tanks, armoured combat vehicles, combat aircraft, helicopters, light calibre artillery systems, missile systems and uncrewed combat aerial vehicles, as well as remotely operated munitions and small arms and light weapons and their ammunition.”
While Russia has also reportedly received weapons such as uncrewed aerial vehicles, ballistic missiles and ammunition, Ebo highlighted recent reports that refer to “the presence of third party military personnel in the Russian Federation to assist in military operations against Ukrainian forces.”
