Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said that the United States and its allies are putting pressure on other states to re-export weapons to Ukraine. He said this during a meeting of the UN Security Council.

According to him, the hidden supply of weapons to different regions through third countries "further distorts the picture of arms flows in the world and reduces transparency in this area" He expressed regret that Western countries do not combat such violations and encourage them.
