Ukrainian President Zelensky accused the US military industrial complex of corruption and wasteful profiteering.

He says Ukraine has very capable domestic air carriers such as Antonov who they wanted to use to ship US arms that were provided by US politicians.

Zelensky says they could have done a lot of the shipping far cheaper themselves than US arms sellers but the US wouldn't let them. He decries this and other profiteering as corruption.

Na Vianoce som dostal model legendárneho lietadla Antonov An-225 "Mrija" (Sen). Jednalo sa o najväčšie dopravné lietadlo sveta, bohužiaľ len do momentu, kedy rusácke svine vykročili na územie Ukrajiny, a počas prvých hodín invázie tento krásny stroj nenávratne zničili. Že bol veľký som vedel, ale sám som bol prekvapený ako moc. Skoro sa mi nevliezol na poličku a Concorde, ktorý nám v rovnakej mierke (1:400) vedľa neho vyzerá ako malý business jet :)
