 Colombia rejects US proposal to supply Ukraine with Russian weapons. Colombian President Gustavo Petro confirmed that Washington has suggested that Colombia transferred Russian-made military weapons to Ukraine but the Republic rejected this proposal. During a conversation with US General Laura Richardson and other US officials, I was told that due to Colombia's inability to maintain Russian-made weapons in active service, they were ready to do so and send it to Ukraine. He said answering to a question from TASS. According to the President, his country's Russian-made military equipment is in poor technical condition at the moment because there was no opportunity to service it properly lately. We are not taking anyone's side, we are on the side of peace. This is why not a single piece of Russian equipment on our territory, regardless of its technical condition, will be used in this conflict, Petro added. Commander of United States Southern Command Laura Richardson said earlier that Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and six other Latin American countries had Russian military equipment in service and the United States was working to replace that with US equipment if those countries want to donate it to Ukraine. Russian President Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a news briefing in January that the US initiative had legal limitations, but that the Kremlin would keep a close eye on the issue.
