.
The aviation company Ron DeSantis hired to fly migrants to Marthas Vineyard buys equipment from Russia, donates to Florida Republicans and received a PPP loan while Trump was still in office.
Just a snippet:
Stedman notes that shipping records support this claim. Most records indicate VSC has imported parts and equipment from a little-known Ukrainian company called Avexcom, whose ultimate beneficiary could not be established. However other records show that VSC has imported helicopters directly from Russian government-owned corporations. That includes a 2018 transaction for $48 million, in 2018, with a company thats a subsidiary of a state-owned and controlled holding company.
That company and its subsidiary were sanctioned in 2022, by the Biden administration, for producing helicopters used by Russia in its war against Ukraine.

I swear that Republicans get a shit ton of money from Russia from shady PACs.
Whenever you see Republican, Russia is in there somewhere.
