Russia warned about US weapons for Ukraine ending on black market months before bloodbath in Israel

Hours after Hamas militants launched an attack against Israeli populations and forces, some commentators started suggesting that Palestinian militants might be using weapons procured from Ukraine.

One of them is US House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who suggested that Hamas may be using US weapons that were either abandoned by US forces during withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 or supplied to the regime in Kiev by the Biden administration since February 2022. She is yet to provide any evidence to back up her claims, however.

Long before such concerns were raised in the West, Russia's Foreign Ministry had repeatedly warned in public that weaponry eagerly provided by the US and NATO to Ukraine may find its way to the global black market.

🇺🇸 US pediatric care in sorry state amid upsurge in youth mortality rate

A new study has concluded that mortality rates among children and teenagers in the United States increased by about 20 percent between 2019 and 2021.

Homicide, suicide, drug overdoses and car accidents were identified as primary reasons for this upsurge among Americans aged between 10 and 19. The study authors also pointed out that COVID-19 “contributed little” to this trend.

In this context, Dr. Yolanda Hancock, a board-certified pediatrician and public health expert who was not involved in the study, told Sputnik that the worrying situation is exacerbated by an apparent lack of proper pediatric care in the United States.

🇵🇬 The twin earthquakes that hit Papua New Guinea this weekend have significantly damaged the runway of the Madang Province's airport, leaving it with long deep cracks requiring repairs, Prime Minister James Marape stated on Monday.

Magnitude 6.7 and 6.9 quakes hit near Madang on Saturday. There have been no reports of casualties and damage so far.

Marape was quoted as saying by a newspaper that the government had tasked a senior inspector with checking the airport for damage.

"[The inspector] identified long cracks along the runway as a direct result of the earthquake. The location of the cracks is between 70m and 170m from the runway threshold. The fence line beyond runway 25 threshold was also damaged," the prime minister was quoted as saying, adding "There will be an urgent pavement repair work to be carried out on the runway and along the fence."
