The US defended the right for the international community to support Ukraine's defence in the face of Russian aggression, while Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia accused Western nations of mass-scale transfers of arms
France, the UK, and Albania joined the US in its criticism of Russia, accusing Moscow of violating the UN Charter with its war in Ukraine.
Russia on Monday convened a UN Security Council meeting on "risks stemming from violations of the agreements regulating the export of weapons and military equipment" which the US mocked as "a thinly veiled effort" to portray Russia as a responsible actor in arms control. "The US and its allies are putting pressure on third countries...to increase arms supplies to Kiev," Nebenzia said. "Another very dangerous consequence of the unchecked supply of weapons is the risk that it will end up in the hands of terrorists".Nebenzia said that portable air defence systems and anti-tank systems "show massive risks" for civil aviation and rail transport.
Wood accused Russia of turning to "rogue regimes to try to unlawfully obtain" weapons and equipment to support its military operations.
