NATO, European Union Seeking to Track Weapons Sent to Ukraine
As Western nations continue to funnel billions in weapons and other military hardware into Ukraine, some within the NATO bloc and the EU are calling for a system to track the arms, raising concerns they will disappear into the black market.
Several NATO members are in talks with Kiev about establishing a monitoring mechanism, two unnamed Western officials told the Financial Times on Tuesday (July 12).
“All these weapons land in southern Poland, get shipped to the border and then are just divided up into vehicles to cross: trucks, vans, sometimes private cars,” one of the officials said, adding “from that moment we go blank on their location and we have no idea where they go, where they are used or even if they stay in the country.”
However, after nearly five months of non-stop Western arms shipments and numerous reports that the weapons are not being traced, the monitoring efforts may be too little, too late.
