US SOUTHCOM Commander General Laura Richardson discussed the request in a recent interview.
Speaking to the Atlantic Council, a think tank backed by NATO and funded by the US weapons industry, Richardson stated that a total of nine Latin American countries “have Russian equipment,” and that the Pentagon is “working to replace that with US equipment if those countries want to donate it to Ukraine.”
Currently, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Venezuela have Russian weapons, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
