It is now nearly 15 months after Russia –Ukraine conflict, the Ukranian civilians are forced to live through an “unbearable routine”, amidst destruction and damage to their communities, echoed the deputy UN disarmament chief on Thursday while he was briefing the Security Council on issue of Western weapons supplies to Ukraine. This was the fourth time that permanent member Russia had called for the discussion.

Ebo said the transfers of weapons systems and ammunition from Western governments backing Kyiv, was no secret, including battle tanks, combat aircraft, missile systems and helicopters.

He said any “large-scale influx of weapons and ammunition” onto any battlefield, “raises concerns for peace, security and stability, including as a result of diversion.”

He called on States to consider joining all other related treaties and live up to their legal obligations and political commitments.

 “In addition to the thousands of civilians killed and injured, the destruction of essential critical infrastructure and services is particularly alarming. Homes, schools, roads, and bridges have been destroyed and damaged”, he continued.

He said plainly that attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, “must stop”.

The deputy disarmament chief concluded by reiterating that Russia’s invasion was a violation of international law, including the UN Charter, “causing massive suffering and devastation to Ukraine and its people.

The world cannot afford for this war to continue. I appeal to all Member States to make every effort for peace. The United Nations stands ready to support all genuine efforts to that end.”
