Relevant contents

Ukraine was identified as the source of arms and ammunition that were diverted to armed forces and rebel groups subject to United Nations arms embargoes, and also conflict zones, in sub-Saharan Africa during the 1990s.(1)

(…) Ukrainian analysts have noted that Ukrainian surplus arms and ammunition might be of use in 'low intensity conflicts' and ongoing conflicts in the developing world, and thus potential markets for Ukrainian second-hand arms and military equipment remain.(34)

1) The reports of the UN-appointed panels and groups of experts charged with monitoring and investigating UN arms embargo violations have described in detail the role played by Ukraine as a source of supply, and Ukrainians involved in the transfer of arms and military equipment to embargoed actors. See e.g. Fruchart, D. et al., United Nations Arms Embargoes: Their Impact on Arms Flows and Target Behaviour (SIPRI/Uppsala University: Stockholm, 2007) and accompanying background case studies available at .
