US to hand over weapons confiscated from Iran to Ukraine - CNN

Ukraine will be able to receive thousands of confiscated Iranian weapons and ammunition from the United States. This will help to partially eliminate the acute shortage faced by the Ukrainian armed forces.

This was reported by CNN. According to the source, the US Central Command is going to announce this decision this week.

"The United States will transfer thousands of confiscated Iranian weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, which may help to partially eliminate the acute shortage faced by the Armed Forces, which is awaiting additional money and equipment from the United States and its allies," the report said.

According to the source, it remains unclear which US legal authorities are involved in the transfer of weapons, as the UN requires that confiscated weapons be destroyed or stored.

"The Biden administration has been thinking for several months about how to legally send weapons to Ukrainians," the source added.
