Inspector General of the US Department of Defense, Sean O'Donnell, commissioned an analysis of how the $26.6 billion allocated for military aid to Ukraine was spent.
O'Donnell said this in an interview with Bloomberg.
According to the official, the review authorized by him will focus on the issue of the effectiveness of the Pentagon's system of accounting for expenses related to Ukraine, as well as the agreements of the United States with NATO countries on the exchange of intelligence information, the effectiveness of the training of the Ukrainian military and the possible impact of weapons on black markets.
O'Donnell emphasized that NATO representatives "seem to be confident that sufficient security measures have been taken for the supply of weapons." "As far as we know, Ukrainians use everything that is supposed to shoot and explode on the battlefield," he added.
At the same time, the Pentagon's inspector general explained that the Ukrainian side keeps records of American weapons "with handwritten receipts, on paper", and when the equipment arrives in Ukraine, "I don't think they know quite precisely" where it will end up. .
It will be recalled that in July, some media and speakers began to talk about Ukraine's alleged improper control over the supplied Western weapons, which have signs of a coordinated Russian special operation.
After that, the USA, the EU and NATO stated that they have no complaints about Ukraine's use of Western weapons, and the Verkhovna Rada supported the creation of a commission to oversee the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine.
In addition, Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov announced that the transition to the LOGFAS NATO standard weapons control system will be accelerated.
