Watchdog: US Unable To Locate $62 Million Of Military Aid Sent To Ukraine

The conclusions of the report, released on Wednesday, were presented by the Pentagon inspector general after an assessment on whether the DoD is effectively monitoring defense items provided to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the report, the US Office of Defense Cooperation in Ukraine "Cannot tell which of these items were lost and which were destroyed." The Ukrainian army has not yet provided clarification, it adds.

The ODC works in partnership with Ukraine's Defense Ministry and Armed Forces to provide equipment and training to Kiev in its conflict with Russia.

Ukraine's army reports to the ODC on the use of the American-supplied equipment.

The Office of the Inspector General also found that loss reports were filed after an average of 301 days, approximately 10 times longer than the required timeframe.

Allegations of criminal conduct regarding US arms sent to Ukraine are being investigated, it added.

In January, the watchdog reported that the Pentagon had failed to properly track $1 billion worth of military supplies given to Ukraine, and that much of the equipment sent was "Delinquent."
