The U.S. government is transferring seized firearms and ammunition to Ukraine as purchases of new firearms and supplies are hindered by House Republicans’ continued opposition to funding requests for that country.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) posted to X, “On Apr. 4, 2024, the U.S. government transferred over 5,000 AK-47s, machine guns, sniper rifles, RPG-7s and over 500,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces. This constitutes enough materiel to equip one UKR BDE with small arms rifles.”
