These arrests come as the U.S. State Department says there has been no diversion of U.S. weapons donated to Ukraine.

“We have important accountability mechanisms in place for U.S. arms and U.S. military assistance that we supply to Ukraine,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters on Thursday. “We have strict oversight mechanisms that we’ve put in place. That also applies to humanitarian and economic aid that we’ve provided. And we’ve seen no diversion of those arms at this point.”
