The US is planning to send Iranian weapons and ammunition it has seized to Ukraine to help patch up shortages of Western-supplied armaments, CNN reports.
Citing unnamed US officials, the report says an announcement of the move could come as soon as this week, but adds the Biden administration has been mulling for months how to send the weapons because of a UN requirement that seized arms must be destroyed.
