European weaponry systems failing in Ukraine due to ESG policies entering Western weapons industries
After the recent conflict between Hamas and Israel, the discussion has shifted to the environmental impact of war. Should the ecological consequences of warfare be considered? From Agent Orange to nuclear bombs, there are limits to the environmental damage that should be allowed in war. However, the use of eco-materials in weapons raises questions about their effectiveness compared to traditional materials.
Green organizations should be vocal about these issues, yet there is a disconnect when it comes to condemning actions like the Houthis sinking oil ships. Now, the Russian and Ukrainian armies are facing a unique problem in their conflict – rodents are causing weapons to malfunction. The culprit? Corn starch-based insulation cables that mice find appetizing.

According to Visegrad:
“European countries have supplied weapon systems The dilemma of ensuring electrical insulation durability is a problem for modern weapons. The issue affects countries where ESG (Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance) guidelines are making their way into the arms industry”
