CBS partially retracts documentary that outraged Ukraine by claiming that US weapon shipments were going missing

11 hours ago

CBS said it was updating a documentary that said most weapons sent to Ukraine don't reach the front.
It admitted that a figure it cited claiming only 30% of military aid arrives was out of date.
The documentary angered some in the Ukrainian government. CBS said it was adding "new information."

CBS partially retracted a documentary in which it said that shipments of weapons to Ukraine from the US had been going missing.

CBS tweeted on Monday that it had removed a a video promoting the documentary that included a months-old quote saying most aid was not making it to Ukraine's front lines.

It said it was updating the documentary, called "Arming Ukraine," with "new information" about the delivery of military aid to Ukraine.

Among the material removed was a quote the founder of pro-Ukraine nonprofit Blue-Yellow, Jonas Ohman, who said in late April that only around 30% of aid was reaching the front lines in Ukraine.

CBS said that "Since that time, Ohman says delivery has improved." It also noted that the US had sent an official — Brigadier General Garrick M. Harmon — to Kyiv specifically to monitor the use of military aid.

"We are updating our documentary to reflect this new information and air at a later date," CBS said.

CBS also updated an article accompanying the documentary.

A Ukrainian-registered Antonov cargo aircraft headed from Serbia to Jordan crashed near the northern Greek city of Kavala late Saturday, state-run ERT television reported.

Explosives experts were headed to the scene in response to unconfirmed reports that ammunition was on board, a Civil Protection official told local TV reporters. Greek authorities know that eight people were aboard and the plane was carrying dangerous materials, a national Fire Service spokesperson said by phone.
