“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

Putin was angry, but Shoigu was in no hurry to report important details about the loss of our A-50 AWACS aircraft
As we learned, unlike previous cases of serious losses at the front, this time they were in a hurry to report the tragedy to the President.
According to our data, Nikolai Patrushev and Valery Gerasimov tried to be the first to inform the President about the incident over the Sea of Azov. But Sergei Shoigu was in no hurry.
Sources close to the President say he was very angry. At the same time, several representatives of the security bloc decided not to hide information from Vladimir Vladimirovich, but to report it honestly.
Including Nikolai Patrushev, to whom she received it through the Security Council. It is curious that Sergei Shoigu was not among those who wanted to report the truth to the president.
This is understandable; this is not some kind of dizzying success, but a real tragedy, which has already been called a “black day” for Russian aviation.
It seems that the hawks surrounded by the President, led by Patrushev Sr., are trying to open Vladimir Putin’s eyes to what is really happening on the fronts. And this is generally good news.
But the fact that the Minister of Defense is in no hurry to report the most important information to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is an alarming signal.
