When US lawmakers approved a spending bill Saturday, Sept. 30, that averted a widely expected government shutdown, the measure didn’t include the $6 billion in military assistance that Ukraine said it urgently needed. Now the Pentagon, White House and European allies are urging Congress to quickly reconsider.

Russia has repeatedly said that arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the conflict settlement and directly involve NATO countries in it.

Western nations and Ukraine are "blocking all-European meetings" on curbing illegal arms trade at the OSCE, which once led efforts on such issues, noted Zhdanova, who is head of Russia's delegation at the Vienna arms control talks.

"Earlier, we had a very active dialogue on the issue of preventing illegal arms trafficking, the organization was a pioneer in this area. But now Westerners and Ukrainians block all-European meetings on this issue," she explained.
