70% of Western weapons sent to Ukraine don’t reach troops – CBS

"CBS News report suggested that only around 30% of the weapons sent by the West
actually make it to the front lines
. The report adds to ongoing rumors of waste, corruption, and black market profiteering. “All of this stuff goes across the border, and then something happens, kind of like 30% of it reaches its final destination,” Jonas Ohman, the founder of a Lithuania-based organization supplying the Ukrainian military, told the American network. Ohman said that getting the weapons to the troops involves navigating a complex network of “power lords, oligarchs [and] political players.”
A US intelligence source told CNN in April that Washington has “almost zero” idea what happens to these arms, describing the shipments as dropping “into a big black hole” once they enter Ukraine. Canadian sources said last month that they have “no idea” where their weapons deliveries actually end up." RT
