Investigation reveals secret Pakistani arms sales to US for Ukraine

A recent investigation has uncovered secret arms sales from Pakistan to the United States, which were then used to supply the Ukrainian military. The arms sales were reportedly made to help facilitate a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Pakistan. The revelations shed light on the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of financial and political elites and the impact on the ongoing political crisis in Pakistan. The story includes leaked documents detailing the arms transactions and the involvement of global military products, a subsidiary of controversial arms dealer Global Ordnance. The economic capital and political goodwill obtained from these arms sales played a significant role in securing the IMF bailout. The US and Pakistani governments have denied any involvement in the arms sales and continue to face public scrutiny and protests in Pakistan.
