WASHINGTON, May 19. /TASS/. The US use military planes to deliver 200 ventilators to Russia, a Pentagon source told TASS Tuesday.
"The US government is using military aircraft to transport the ventilators to the Russian people," the source said. "With extremely limited commercial flights, this was the best option available."
