Apparently it's medical aid sent by Putin at Trump's request. That's the story put out by the Russian MOD, and Trump seems to agree.
Nope it was an offer to assist made from the President of Russia to the President of the US.
US Embassies were already trying to source items across Europe from other nations (excluding Russia). An offer of assistance was made and accepted.
No different from the help US Presidents have offered to many nations who have needed help in various disasters, Russians saw they could help and offered it.
Just like in Italy where Russian and China have put people on the ground with tons of assisatnce but Atlantic Council idiots have tried to plant Fake News stories about the equipment and people
not being fit for purpose. The fake news got quickly shot down by Italian Ambassador to Russia, President of region of Lombardy and medical teams using it.
