"Russia Accuses US of Providing Outdated Weapons to Ukraine"

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the United States of providing Ukraine with "old junk" weapons while using assistance funds to build more modern weapons for itself, claiming that nearly 90 percent of the $68 billion in military aid approved for Ukraine went back to the U.S. to build new weapons or replace ones sent to Ukraine from American stockpiles. Lavrov also criticized the U.S. for treating the conflict in Ukraine as a profitable business project and claimed that the West has been quietly arming Ukraine and preparing it for war against Russia for years.
