Myanmar military imports $1 billion in weapons since coup, much from Russia and China.

A new UN report reveals that Myanmar's military junta has imported at least $1 billion in weapons and military-related equipment since the coup, with much of it coming from individuals and businesses in Russia, China, and Singapore. The report identified "254 unique suppliers" to the Myanmar military since the coup, with 94% of the transactions listing the military as the ultimate receiver. The report also listed $406 million in sales from Russian entities and $267 million from China, including some state-owned companies. The UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar called on the international community to stop more arms from going to the Myanmar military.
