Please talk about all the guns and ammo donated to Ukraine that ended up with the drug traffickers in the slums of Brazil and the related corruption scandal.

This claim is false and there is no available information to confirm the validity of this statement. Multiple fact-checking organizations, including Newsweek, have investigated similar allegations (made by commentator Tucker Carlson) and found them to be part of a broader Russian disinformation campaign. These claims often stem from mistranslated news reports, fabricated images, and out-of-context videos, none of which provide verifiable proof of Ukrainian weapons reaching criminal groups in Latin America. International audits and oversight mechanisms are in place to monitor arms transfers to Ukraine, and while isolated cases of mismanagement may occur in any war zone, no systematic diversion to Brazilian drug traffickers has been documented.
