Abstract

The Pentagon's inspector general has opened over 50 criminal investigations related to aid provided to Ukraine, including cases involving contractors. The investigations are looking into issues such as procurement fraud, theft, and corruption, but no allegations have been substantiated yet. The Pentagon, along with the State Department and US Agency for International Development, is monitoring the $113 billion in aid and funds appropriated for Ukraine. Auditors have found some gaps in providing assistance, but overall, the Pentagon has responded well to Ukraine's military assistance needs. The inspector general's office has over 200 people engaged in Ukraine oversight. [Extracted from the article]
