Over $1 Billion in Ukraine military aid was poorly tracked, Pentagon report concludes

On Thursday, the Pentagon's inspector general revealed a report stating that the U.S. military didn't effectively keep tabs on approximately $1 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine.

Before December 2022, the inspector general's report discovered that around 59% of weapons needing oversight were not properly monitored. However, between February and June 2023, this delinquency rate decreased by 27 percentage points due to improved processes. Weapons are considered delinquent if they haven't been recorded within a specific timeframe. The report didn't investigate whether aid had been redirected or not, stating that it wasn't within the review's scope.

"While the DoD (Department of Defense) has improved execution of EEUM (enhanced end use monitoring) since the full‑scale invasion began in February 2022, the DoD did not fully comply with the EEUM program requirements for defense article accountability in a hostile environment."

"Office of Defense Cooperation–Ukraine (ODC‑Ukraine) personnel have not been able to conduct initial inventories on all EEUM‑designated defense articles within 90 days of arrival."

A conflict is emerging in Congress regarding the future of U.S. military support for Ukraine. Over $110 billion has been approved for Ukraine since Russia's invasion. President Joe Biden has requested an additional $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, but Republicans are unwilling to approve it unless there's an agreement with Democrats to enhance security along the U.S.-Mexico border.
