This paper examines the potential danger posed by surplus stocks of ammunition and small arms in Ukraine. The author argues that such surpluses threaten the environment and represent a high risk to security, particularly in view of the activities of international terrorist groups. The disposal of such weapons necessitates a collective, international effort. The study also shows that lessons can be drawn from mistakes made in the past and that the Ukrainian government itself must show that it has a stake in contributing to these efforts.
