about the documentary again, why military in the ukraine may not always get to the front lines. and they have detail how they estimated back in april, jonas omen. who's the founder and ceo, blue yellow list, the a list, the whiny and based organization that has been meeting with and supplying frontline units. and lat normally for military 8, a new great. since we started the conflict in 2014 said to back in april, he met estimated that quote, 30 just 30 to 40 percent of the supplies coming across the border reached its destination. so you're talking about potentially billions of dollars or equipment not reaching the intended destination. the same article from cbs goes on to say,

a combination of ukraine's constantly shifting front lines with it's largely volunteer. and pear, military forces is made delivery of the military, a difficult for those attempting to navigate the dangerous supply lines to their destination. some of raise concerns about weapons falling into ukraine's black market, which is thrive corruption since the collapse of the solely right in 1991. so this is a naming new to the naming. we should be surprised about. this is something that we should have been prepared for, but as i go on, you'll see that we have been woefully unprepared, almost wilfully on prepared for that. so, november 1, 2020, to the washington post us races to track american arms in each of ukraine war what they say is that us monitors have inspected just

10 percent of high risk weapons sent to ukraine. this is incredible. this is november again for months for years. they're saying get a hold of this stuff in november. literally for a month ago, they're saying, well, we probably looked at about 10 percent of them though they said the. busy by the ministration hope to achieve a reasonable level of compliance with over us oversight rules, but emitted it, we certainly would not achieve a 100 percent. i mean this again should be troubling to anyone. rachel stole the vice president for research programs at the washington k. simpson center, this is the same article, washington post set officials also must about long term plans to ensure the security of surplus us. one weapons wants to conflict with russia and noting again,

ukraine's history as a theater for small are smuggling. after the cold war. again, this has been going on for decades. the challenges in ukraine eco. the larger concerns about our weapons produced in the us, the largest global weapon seller are employed, a world wide. advocates of long complain that despite systems designed to prevent their misuse, foreign partners and sometimes implied those employ those arms against civilians in places including m a while we know that right. i mean in yemen you know, since 2015 the saudi is abused. us munitions, including cluster bombs, to attack civilian civilians and civilian infrastructure, unesco historic sites as well. sophisticated equipment is also falling into adversaries, hands allowing the islamic state to showcase aber abrams tanks and the taliban. to

pilot black hawk helicopter again, noted this surprising, went to being done very little about then you had the voice of america. ok, this is, you know, the us itself more or less speaking quoting than i, jerry and president, november 30th, 2022 ukraine war funnelling arms fighter fighters in delay shad base. so the nigerian president is complaining this is already happening. he says the war between russia and ukraine is allowing arms and fighters stream into the late chad region bolstering the strength of terrorist groups. of course we saw in the same region in shad and the saw how the region of africa after the libyan after the nato's bombing campaign and war. busy on libya, illicit arms flooded the sol,

how region and fighters as well. the stabilized places like denisia chad, molly and even theory, right? you should read see maurice's piece about that publisher prize winning. see more marcia's article about that transform fighters to syria, from libya. but any case, so this is already happened according to the nigerian president reference from ukraine already ending up in the hands of extremist. finally, in terms of what i'm relying on, you can look at an interesting opinion piece in the hill publication from the hill dot com. this is november, i'm sorry, december 7. this is 2 days ago. 2022. preventing us weapons from escaping ukraine is a challenge. again, underscoring the difficulty if not impossibility of getting

a handle on all these weapons. which goes back to the 1st report saying we need international oversight. ready over this and with respect it, i'm an american, so i can say this the u. s. isn't going to do it. in fact, 2 days ago, the same day, this was written a house committee that was considering rather to do an audit on you, you know, weapons transfers to ukraine and money sent the crane. that resolution was voted down. congress affirmatively decided, we're not going to audit the billions and billions of dollars of weaponry. we're sending to you as an american taxpayer. i can say, i don't like that, but i would think as the security council in charge of maintaining international

peace and security, you shouldn't like that. who is watching the watchman here? it is the job and the security council to do that. i urge you to do that, but also good. i my interrupting me the way to i think they're running short of time. may i request you to be to round off as soon as you can. thank you. yes, i'm going to i'm going to wind up right now. i just want to reiterate the comment of my colleague who open this session saying that what really has to happen is the end of this war and negotiated end of this war, which i think is possible. we know back in march or april, there was apparently a deal the both sides could lived with that apparently born johnson from the u. k. went and told zalinski not to sign, but apparently there is a deal some way to end this conflict. this needs to be ended and it

needs to be added to negotiated settlement. and again, i urge the security council to work towards that end. thank you very much. thank you very much, mr. go value for your briefing. i now give the floor to those council members who wish to make statements. i give the flow to the russian federation. this was a pretty good thank you madam present or would like to thank oh, brief ris, today in particular, mr. corolla. because he touched upon one over, they have topics for which we ask for the convening of the meeting today, a specifically the consequences of growing smuggling over the weapons which is being provided into ukraine. it's us fred in various regions of the world and it's $32.00 international peace and security. another goal of the meeting today that it

was convened, does so that members of the council could assess a what is the impact of the continuous pumping of ukraine with a western weapons a what kind of impact has on the prospects for the ending of the ukraine and conflict, as you recall, very well the other soon after the beginning of their special irma to reparations. one goal of that was to demilitarize your grant. it became obvious that they were military potential of ukraine itself as being quickly depleted. therefore, the time when the key of regime and ukraine would stop being a threat to our country was a big coming closer and closer. and, but this is the scenario, however, did not sit well with our former western partners. and that is not why they organized a, an image and illegitimate could aton ukraine in 2014. that's not why they encouraged nationalism and was a phobia. that's not why they are re armed, the ukrainian army pretending that they're verifying the implementation of the minsk agreements by k of whereas in actual fact they were trying to implement their

geopolitical plans to weaken russia. and the fact that the men's agreements were just a screen in order to re arm the armed forces of ukraine was something that we were just now told by the former chancellor of germany, mesmeric merkel, quite cynically and to other the toner. and then the argument came into play is the west cannot allow a ukraine to lose big cause. soon after a military defeat, ukraine will stop existing as an independent state, even though we have never said anything like that. secondly, it was because of militarism and the imperial ambitions of the kremlin and will not be limited to buy ukraine and key of their for allegedly protects, not just themselves, but also the entire free world. and this is an absurd. he says that i'm not even going to comment, but all of these are statements became a foundation for a frenetic campaign to arm ukraine and indirectly, militarily,

support it. and that's when the proxy war by the united states and it's nato allies, again to russia, began the war that is continue on to the very last ukrainian such a large scale military support to our was probably never extended to any state in history. and were you can judge for yourself the overall volume of military assistance from washington allowed to key of, according to the american center of international policy, from february to october alone will was in the amount of 40000000000 dollars. if you add to that, the billions of dollars promised already given to you or the okay. and it becomes clear that the arming and assistance to ukraine for less than a year took up the amount which exceeds the military budgets of the most latest states. in addition to weapons supplies, the united states and nato are also gay of giving intelligence data to the gave regime using satellites as well. they provide internet links,

so they train them ukrainian units. if you add to that, this thousands of not tens of thousands of foreign mercenaries or private military company members whose presence we discover when we find their bodies, or are there any go there, it talks to it on the radio. then the following question comes up, is it really the ukrainians who are facing i'm, are they were an army in this country, one can be said to for shore without western assistant military am activities in ukraine. a would either have come to an end a long time ago, and this is something that the leaders of the key of clear of regime say themselves . well, let's take a look at the consequences of the prolonging of the agony of the kia for a regime. and what kind of consequences they have. the old soviet weapons and ammunition used to in ukraine is something that we destroy fairly quickly. and because they're very few of them left, the west is providing the zalinski regime with western weapons

and which also includes a long range artillery and rocket systems. and this is something that i would like to dwell upon because they allow the grain and armed forces to strike the peaceful areas of don bass, which used to be inaccessible to ukrainian artillery before and examples about yesterday were disseminated in the security council. a general assembly, a letter from adonis girl, civil society organizations, which is called just a fancy, it describes bizarre, the random strikes a residential densely populated area. and this document shows that in the remote in the recent weeks are what we're witnessing. and don't ask as a massacre using western weapons being added on by western countries, the ukrainians are literally trying to raise the city to the ground with the great hatred they are daily strikes on residential areas which can not possibly contain any military targets. another such shelling took place this morning at places where

people congregate are being struck during the rush hour, which leads to a large number of our victims and destruction on the 4th of december. for example, of guided artillery shall em mine 8 to excalibur, calibre 155 millimeters, was used to strike the sport center, drew spot, where people are being distributed drinking water. and the reason for that is that in orphan february, already ukraine, cut on bus, off from their own source of water supply. a western colleagues do not notice that because already 8 years ago, they denied the right of people and don boss to have a decent human existence. we regret also that the members of the un secretariat were not brave enough to condemn the shelling of. don't ask even though the they speak out on strikes against bring in the territory all the time, the number of people who died and on bus since the 20. some of them no member is 22, most of them if from donates 83 civilian people were wanted

234 residential buildings were damaged. 106 private houses, 31 education building, 92 other infrastructure objects. we would like to underscore the following. the, this is not big cause an air defense rocket fell on the residential building. something that happens in number of cases on a ukrainians. it is, but it is a target, a conscious strikes against civilian object. ukrainian armed units do not hesitate to use nato artillery in order to strike buildings containing hazardous materials on the 7th of december. for example, that is a strike against chemical concerns. 2 year old m, the l sulphur via of warehouse was strike. it's called fire, a sulphur itself is no dangerous bot. when it is compounded with water sulphuric acid comes into being and this and under certain conditions could lead to acid rain amongst weapons supplies. i would like to underscore the r o hammer's american

system. so we know for a fact and this was indirectly confirmed by both cave and washington on many occasions the american experts participate in the work of the as of hi moore's. they are, oh, are using american satellite information and american military on the ground coordinate, saddle, satellite data. they keep the coordinates into the m hymer as a software and they control the effectiveness of their use. they representatives of key of have stayed to themselves that not one single hymer strike takes place without coordination with the americans. we're being told all the time that of this kind of weapon is very high technology, high precision. it always strikes aware at the strike as planned. so what are the military goals in don barza and ended up being struck by this, that rocket launcher with there is the washington approval. let me name just one. there is a kindergarten in snares,

nor an art school in bronze k o telling crossley luge and volunteer center in step on a crank, a swimming pool, a school as a bakery in sta, hanover, a cultural center in your new devante, gorski and yas, nevada. on the agrarian college, in of i darts amongst those who were victims, were people who work there via their doctors. their teachers are volunteers and bakers tens of peaceful people who were the died because of american missiles. this sunday hires a missiles hit the buildings of the don bus. technical institutions in the city of al chow ask more detailed information on this is contained in the letter that we did that and disseminated could these and numerous and documented strikes against the civilians. object b, i was a result of a mistake or an accident. obviously, this is a conscious and intentional participation of united states and nato in key of regime. * crimes and the victims among civilians. the damage to social and civilian

in infrastructure is something that they, it bear at the same personal, responsible responsibility as ukrainian artillery and gunnery personnel. this is factually, i'm direct involvement of united states and nato in what is happening in ukraine. but that's not to all. we have information that the russian air fields and juggler by nan gillis were attacked using american sample a data. a modernize a soviet drones of 2141 war being of found targets using american global satellite system gps stay sector blinking. commenting. it stated the united states that does not encourage or does not enable the ukrainians to attack the russian territory out at the same time, the head of the american corporation, raytheon technology corporation. hayes, on the 8th of december, state of the following. we work with the government and provide, in real time information on this issue, situation in on the battlefield in ukraine,

including when will miss out a lot. of course, we very carefully note all such crimes committed by united states and as allies. and they will have legal consequences for all involved. well, so follow and destroy the a equipment they provide. this equipment is also dwindling in warehouses and because of that, washington and allies are trying to actually work with 3rd countries buying form of m equipment and material and giving it to ukraine. this was a chronology recently by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine caliber. it, we should assess to what extent this is legal. obviously the western countries when they do this are violating the obligations they have under the international arms. a trade treaty, which provides for a ban on experts to those regions where this could lead to violations of

international humanitarian law and could intensify conflict. but um, there are not held back by that and they go even further on the 13th of november, secretary, blinking talked about resuming the manufacturing of the soviet combat systems in eastern european countries. those 2 then supplied am to the key of regime organizing the manufacturing of soviet and a russian weaponry on a visa of factories is regulated by international agreements which stipulates the commitment not to provide such goods without our consent consent. in other words, currently the united states is pushing those countries to violate the basic foundational arms control standards. and this is an example over the 2nd rules based order, or which is violating an actual fact international law. madam president, another large topic is, is spread to all the weapons prob,

supplied to ukraine throughout the world on the september meeting on this topic. if you already warned about the risk of this weapons ending up in the hands of terrorists and criminals, this is not our conjecture. these are warnings and concerns of the police forces of european countries themselves. for example, the finish up, but police are received information about weapons supplied to key of to the, to criminals in their country as well as in sweden, denmark and holland, the natal weaponry that helps him. he hopes we will help them defend themselves is now threatening the lives of fin finished citizens. let me say that the issue of stealing weaponry from ukrainian warehouse is something that arose a long time ago. in a recent o d. c. and you didn't dare reports. they talking about the fact that in 2020, they discovered a scheme of a legally supplying weapons from ukraine into conflict,

errors in africa and middle east. and this was heavy weaponry including tanks. and they could have only could, could the time's good for have only comes from army warehouses or go as a washington, a european capitals. know that very well, but pumping ukraine with weapons was a more important. the situation has gone out of control to such an extent that the weaponry for key of are now appearing the black market, not just in europe, but also in the middle east and in africa. it mr. caballo has already quoted the president of nigeria today, who said that the ukrainian conflict is a main source of weapons for a bugger, harass terrace in lake chart area. why are these egregious cases of cross border illegal weapons trafficking in which are corrupted or ukrainian officials do participate as well as obviously european and american officials are not being investigated. is this not a direct threat threat to international peace and security a to which international commute should be paying attention?

this same also applies to the billions over this so called a sister kia from military to humanitarian by a large partner, which remains in the pockets of interest of persons. we know about the discussion about value in european parliament in the american congress. but we also see that the ruling elite basically shuts up the opposition when they asked to audit every dollar or every euro sent to ukraine at the expense of a western taxpayers. in the course of senate hearings on the, on the audit draft auditing the art from the assistance of ukraine by the united states, the representative of the democratic party. connelly said that he supports transparency and accountability, but not right now. and probably the best illustration of they had a double standards of the american establishment and their desire to keep from yeah, they're a vast, so erm. erm to support their vassal. i'm madam president. i know that, oh, the all those who's a western countries who will speak after me will try to shift the blame and they

will start talking about the military supplies from around to russia, which have already refuted many an occasion the military industrial complex in russia can work perfectly fine and doesn't need anyone's assistance, whereas the ukrainian military industry does not are basically exist and is being assisted by the western industry. and western company is also receive huge profits from that. and they're certainly not going to give up on that for the, for the purpose of, of establishing peace. i would like to call upon those who can objectively a see information to once again, soberly assess the risk of coming from a v, pumping up of ukraine in regime with weapons without control, the threats to international peace and security maintaining, which is something that their security council needs to deal with when you to look at it. these threats are not go down. they're growing big cause the western countries do not understand that they're fueling the fire by doing so. i thank you

. i tank russia for the statement and i would now like to give the floor to the representative of novi. thank you, madam precedents and i thank the reference for their statements. i will make 5 short points. first, we condemn russia, the war against ukraine in the strongest possible terms. and 2nd, we reiterate our unwavering support for ukraine serenity and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. ukraine has a right to self defense and try and in article 51 of the un charter, as well as the 7 right to ask for and receive support from other states in the exercise of this, right, norway will continue to stand with ukraine. 3rd rushes war against ukraine is a blatant violation of international law including the un charter. it is a violation of the core principle on which this organization is built. the

sovereign, the quality of its members, and the in admissibility of the acquisition or territory by force. russia must abide by international law and stop its war of aggression now forth. we are alarmed by the recent increase in russian attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. the massive waves of ms. south and rome strikes on ukraine clearly demonstrates russia's complete disregard for the horrible suffering there coursing millions of people in addition to causing casualties. the cynical attacks have destroyed the large number of power facilities leaving ukraine's population freezing in the middle of the winter. children, persons with disabilities and the elderly, i mean, particularly, will know both situations. they must be protected cysts on the transfer,

lethal weapons from iran by russia. we recall that all states are obligated to respect the restrictions of resolution $2231.00 the use of drones from iran adds even further to the list of rushes, total disregard for international law. the un charter and the decisions of the very security council on which it sits as a permanent member. and finally, man and president russia is the one driving weapons flows, weapon flows into ukraine, and they do so through their illegal war against ukraine. almost one year has gone since russia aggressive invasion, and it's not too late for them to do the right thing to respect the un charter to withdraw all troops and to work for a peaceful solution to a dialogue and diplomatic efforts. i thank you. i thank the representative of navi

and i give the floor now to the united kingdom. thank you president, and i thank thee hi, representative for disarmament affairs for her briefing. our president, i'll be brief because we discussed russia's war of aggression in ukraine just 3 days ago. during that meeting, we heard under secretary general griffith's harrowing account of the horrific consequences of russia's war and his deep concerns about the impacts of russia's systematic attacks on ukraine's infrastructure and civilian centers. particularly ahead of winter. we've just seen further o h c h r, reporting on potential atrocities against civilians committed by russia. the irony, given the topic of this meeting is that russia is perpetrating this war,

including with weapons, sauced from iran in violation of resolution 20 to 31. and is almost certainly seeking to source weaponry from other un sanctions. states like north korea as its own stalks dwindle. we note that despite the resounding calls in this council again on tuesday, for a ceasefire and for peace dialogue and diplomacy, the russian president on wednesday doubled down, confirming that the invasion would continue and that it would be protracted. he also reaffirmed the neo imperialist nature of the campaign,

claiming that unlike peter, the great he had made the sea of, as of a russian internal c president, in the face of russia's relentless effort to seize ukraine's territory in violation of the un charter. and to d, humanise kill and subjugate its people. ukraine has no choice, but to exercise its right to defend itself. if it did not, it would cease to exist. in a similar situation, all of us would do the same. and due to the deep determination to live ukraine is prevailing the.
