Putin just sent medical supplies to JFK airport in New York


Russian coronavirus aid delivery to US prompts confusion and criticism

Thu April 2, 2020

" Washington (CNN) - Former State Department officials were "mystified" and "bemused" by the United States' purchase of medical supplies from Russia amid the coronavirus pandemic -- a move that experts say is a propaganda win for the Kremlin.

A Russian plane with the equipment touched down in New York City on Wednesday, with an air traffic controller thanking the pilot "for all the assistance you are bringing in." The delivery came days after President Donald Trump spoke by phone with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

According to State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, the US purchased the supplies, which included ventilators and personal protection equipment. "
