As Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls on the West for more weapons, one US city has answered the call in an unexpected way.
Dozens of residents from the city of Miami, Florida lined up outside City Hall on Saturday, holding their guns.
They will be donated to Ukraine through a gun buyback program called Guns 4 Ukraine, run by the local city council.
In exchange, residents received a gift card valued at up to $150, depending on the type of gun.
The program in total collected 69 guns in four hours, with firearms ranging from AK-47 style assault rifles to fully automatic AR-15s to homemade 3D-printed plastic guns.
