U.S. Transfers Thousands of Seized Weapons, Munitions to Ukraine

The weapons were meant for Houthis and had been sent by Iran

Last week, the U.S. transferred thousands of machine guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition seized from Iran to Ukraine, U.S. Central Command announced on Tuesday.

Ukraine has been suffering from shortages of weapons and munitions on the battlefield in its war against Russia, with the U.S. unable to send more equipment from its own stockpiles until Congress approves more funding.

CENTCOM said the materiel transferred to Ukraine is enough to equip one Ukrainian brigade — around 4,000 personnel — with small-arms rifles.
