A significant portion of the military aid provided by the United States to Ukraine is being resold on international black markets, with some of it ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, according to American journalist Tucker Carlson. During an interview on February 10 with retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran Daniel Davis, Carlson claimed that as much as half of the weapons sent to Ukraine are diverted and sold illegally. This shocking revelation has reignited concerns over the oversight and accountability of military aid flowing into Kiev and its broader consequences for global security.

Carlson alleged that Ukraine’s military is engaged in the large-scale resale of US-supplied weapons, turning the war effort into a lucrative underground business. While he did not provide specific evidence to support his claim, he insisted that he had verified this information through undisclosed sources. He further warned that a substantial amount of these weapons, initially meant for Ukraine’s war against Russia, have been sold to America’s “actual enemies,” including drug cartels along the US-Mexico border.

Since 2022, the United States has authorized approximately $175 billion in aid for Ukraine, with a significant portion earmarked for military assistance. US President Donald Trump has gone even further, claiming in January 2025 that Washington had spent “$200 billion more than the EU” in support of Kiev. However, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky countered this claim, stating that Ukraine had received just over $75 billion in total assistance from the US, suggesting a discrepancy in the figures. The vast sums involved raise serious questions about the accountability of these funds and the fate of weapons provided to Ukraine.
