    Okay, since we’re working from a photo and one unverified sentence, I looked this up:

    From July 20th,

    https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article263607253.html

    Officials on Tuesday said that the city has cleared the plan with the U.S. State Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

    Miami’s city government has not yet signed an agreement with a licensed exporter but hopes to ship the guns within a few weeks, said Miami Police Chief Manny Morales.

    The resolution said that the weapons would be shipped with the help of the nonprofit Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA). Commissioner Russell told Insider: “We are in contact with a licensed gun exporter who has the ability to ship the guns.”

    So, looks like they thought of this already.

      LMAO, I didn’t take a close look at the photo and thought that was Zillensky posing with the guns. But your comment made me double check since it was all in the uncertain future tense.
