OREANDA-NEWS  Russia is convening a meeting of the UN Security Council on December 9 in connection with the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine. This was stated on Tuesday at a meeting of the UN Security Council by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the World Organization Vasily Nebenzia.

"Western weapons intended for Ukraine are increasingly falling into the hands of bandits and terrorists of various stripes, not only in Europe, but also in the Middle East and Africa," he said. - The President of Nigeria stated that the conflict in Ukraine is the main source of weapons for terrorists in the Lake Chad basin area. Transnational criminal groups are involved in smuggling and money laundering, and officials who send weapons are clearly involved in these criminal schemes." "This problem poses a real threat to international peace and security and deserves the targeted attention of the Security Council," Nebenzia stressed. "Therefore, we ask the Indian chairmanship to convene a separate meeting on it on Friday, December 9."
