CBS partially retracted a documentary in which it said that shipments of weapons to Ukraine from the US had been going missing.

CBS tweeted on Monday that it had removed a a video promoting the documentary that included a months-old quote saying most aid was not making it to Ukraine's front lines.

It said it was updating the documentary, called "Arming Ukraine," with "new information" about the delivery of military aid to Ukraine.

Among the material removed was a quote the founder of pro-Ukraine nonprofit Blue-Yellow, Jonas Ohman, who said in late April that only around 30% of aid was reaching the front lines in Ukraine.

CBS said that "Since that time, Ohman says delivery has improved." It also noted that the US had sent an official — Brigadier General Garrick M. Harmon — to Kyiv specifically to monitor the use of military aid.

Prior to the Russian invasion, Ukraine was viewed as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. This perception changed overnight. The reality however has never changed.

10% to the Big Guy.

No, CBS did the right thing in retracting. Strictly speaking the materiel isn’t really missing . . . you can find it for sale all over the dark web.

Jonas Ohman, who said in late April that only around 30% of aid was reaching the front lines in Ukraine.

Jonas Ohman was referring to non-lethal aid/donations that this man’s volunteer organization provides. Saying 30% reaches the front lines, means the aid was mostly distributed along the way. Ukraine is a poor country

The United States blocked the supply of Himars MLRS to Ukraine, according to the Avia portal.

Until the end of this month, the United States will not supply new multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine. According to sources, the reason for this was certain circumstances identified by the American side, in particular, we can talk about the losses of six Himars MLRS, which the Russian side had previously announced.

TRUTH must be suppressed, especially when it offends the elite of the moment...

Communists, Atheists, Homosexuals (of all stripes), Enviro-whackos, Snowflakes, Globalists, Marxists...

(Warning!: There may be some overlap among the members of the groups above...)

Did anyone notice on the original CBS report how the Ukraine “special operations group” guy who showed the CBS report the weapons cache was about 100 lbs overweight, and that the weapons were stored in an apartment building?

to me that says “criminal gangster.”

This is Ukraine post 2014.

What better way to launder weapons to the democrat foot soldiers than ‘missing’ shipments to Ukraine? I’m sure the Mexican Cartels are getting some fine new high tech weapons.
