 Russia keeps eye on U.S. attempts to seek Latin America's arms supplies to Kiev. Russia will keep a close eye on the U.S. attempts to urge Latin American countries to hand over weapons to Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. The Russian presidential spokesman thus commented on a statement by a Pentagon representative that Washington was working with nine Latin American countries to urge them to hand over available Russian weapons to Ukraine in exchange for the delivery of U.S. equipment. Responding to a question about whether this news came as a surprise for Moscow, the Kremlin spokesman said, In general, it is hard today to imagine anything that can be a surprise. Here it is very important to bear in mind the legal restrictions of any deliveries to the third countries. This is because any deliveries are, of course, conditioned by certain commitments of those countries that receive military equipment, Peskov pointed out. Of course, we will keep a close eye on the situation. The Kremlin press secretary said, Commander of the U.S. Southern Command General Laura Richardson announced that Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and six other Latin American countries had Russian military equipment and Washington was working to replace that with U.S. equipment if those countries want to donate it to Ukraine.
