Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Heorhii Tykhyi, has denied accusations made by American commentator Tucker Carlson, who claimed that U.S. weapons sent to Ukraine were being sold on the black market.
In a post on social media platform X, reported by Ukrinform, Tykhyi called Carlson’s statements outright false:
“This is a lie. In reality, every piece of military equipment delivered to Ukraine is tracked. All supplied weapons are monitored by independent mechanisms. And none of the multiple U.S. inspections have ever revealed any misuse,” the diplomat stated.
As reported, Carlson, in his podcast, accused Ukraine of allegedly reselling American arms to drug cartels. However, multiple U.S. audits have found no evidence of corruption or illegal arms sales.
Previously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, urged Carlson to stop acting in the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
