MOSCOW: Russia has formally requested a meeting of the UN Security Council to address concerns related to the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, according to information from a source within the world organization reported by TASS on Friday.
The meeting, scheduled for January 22, will focus on the alleged supply of Western weapons to Ukraine and is expected to provide a platform for Russia to address its concerns and present its perspective on the matter.
This move follows a previous request by Western countries for a UN Security Council meeting on January 10, where the focus was on purported arms supplies to Russia attributed to North Korea. The diplomatic exchanges highlight the ongoing tensions and differing narratives surrounding military-technical cooperation between nations.
