A Russian military plane carrying medical equipment has departed for the United States, the defense ministry in Moscow said Wednesday, as the Kremlin flexes its soft power amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Antonov-124, "with medical masks and medical equipment on board", left for the U.S. overnight, a statement said, without providing further details.
Video released by the ministry showed the cargo plane loaded with boxes preparing to take off from a military airbase near Moscow early Wednesday morning.
Contacted by AFP, the defense ministry refused to provide any further information on the delivery, which came after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump on Monday.
Russia has previously sent medical supplies and experts to coronavirus-hit Italy as part of a humanitarian effort that analysts said carried geopolitical overtones.
Moscow said the aid for Italy included some 100 virus specialists with experience dealing with Ebola and swine fever, but Italian media have reported that much of the aid was not useful in the fight against the virus.
Last month, Russia said it had sent nearly 1,000 coronavirus testing kits to ex-Soviet states and countries including Iran and North Korea.
The U.S. now has 188,663 confirmed coronavirus cases, by far the highest of any country, according to a Johns Hopkins tally, and more than 4,000 deaths.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Putin expected the U.S. to return the gesture if Russia faces a similar crisis and U.S. producers have increased their capacity to produce medical supplies.
"Today, when the situation touches absolutely everyone and is of a global nature, there is no alternative to acting together in the spirit of partnership and mutual assistance," he said.
Mr. Trump said earlier this week that "Russia sent us a very, very large planeload of things, medical equipment, which was very nice."
Health officials in Russia have registered a sharp increase in the number of infections, with 2,337 cases and 17 deaths confirmed, according to the latest figures Wednesday.
I believe Putin's numbers from russia about as much as i believe Xi and China's numbers.
Russia sending the US help - I want nothing to do with Putin's "help" - it is bound to be a Trojan horse of some type - likely infected with some new bug their military developed - to loose upon a weakened population.
Trust Putin - well - the DPST's certainly trust Xi and Putin far more than Trump.
Says a great deal about their plans for America.

Meanwhile Trump and his Crime syndicate shipped out 80 tons of PPE to China.
When China offered to send some of them back..Trump refused
Claiming we won’t need them
I guess what Trump is all about
It’s still a big HOAX to the orange bozo.
100,000 deaths? Hey no problem...he thinks that’s a great success but forgets that he said that we’d only have a few cases.....15 maybe and then down to zero in no time.
Wait til this really hits the red states. It’s coming.

What was Trump supposed to do with it? Confiscate it for US usage when it had been already donated to the Chinese humanitarian effort. Had he confiscated it, I can hear your screams of racism and Trump killing off Chinese.
I'll be waiting for the 80 ton reference as well.

Quoted poster is a DPST shill - producing Lies for political "advantage".
Most know they are lying - some - cannot understand the WaPo and other LSM media outlets are mostly Lies - and suck up to the Bernie socialist party as a result.
Poor, deluded idiots.
