EU member states must end arms exports to Russia

The Greens have called for an end to the supply of arms and military technology to Russia by EU member states in the context of the Russian intervention in the Crimea. Greens/EFA co-president Rebecca Harms stated: "The crisis in Ukraine shows that the export of arms and military technology can endanger the stability and peace of the entire region. Weapons exports from EU member states to Russia must be immediately ended. From 2007 to 2011 weapons worth €900 million were exported from the EU to Russia. This must stop.
