In the Southern command of the states are concerned with the work of Russian propaganda. More than 30 million people in Latin America have been signed at Sputnik and Russia Today. The United States proposes 6 Latin America to exchange Russian weapons for American to help Ukraine. About it reports "Voice of America". In Latin America, the influence of Russia and China is increasing, as the head of the Southern command Laura Richardson said.

Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua are allies of the Kremlin, but 6 other countries are not. They have Russian samples in service, so the states suggest them to replace with US weapons. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Columbia and Brazil have purchased Russian weapons. "We are working to replace all Russian weapons with American if these countries want to hand it to Ukraine," said General Richardson. Russian propaganda is active in the region.

The commander notes that in Latin America, Spundik -speaking Russian media, such as Spuntik and Russia Today, have more than 30 million subscribers. The influence of Beijing and "transnational criminal companies" is also increasing in Central and South America. We will remind, according to media reports, the US is ready to help Ukraine strike the occupied Crimea. The states do not believe that the Russian Federation will decide to go to a nuclear stroke.
