NATO and the EU warn of the risk of arms smuggling from Ukraine





- Ananya Saha

NATO and EU nations are pushing for better tracking of weapons being shipped to Ukraine in

response to fears that criminal groups are smuggling them out of the country to the European black

market.

Since Russia launched its war against Ukraine, Western nations have pledged more than $10 billion

in military support, ranging from portable rocket launchers and armored vehicles to rifles and vast

amounts of ammunition.
