The Pentagon’s Office of the Inspector General has launched a website where Americans can get information on how the U.S. arms and equipment provided to Ukraine are controlled – The Hill.
The new website, launched in coordination with the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Inspector General and the U.S. Agency for International Development, comes as congressional Republicans continue to hold up new funding for Ukraine and question whether weapons being shipped to war-torn Ukraine are being properly accounted for.
The Ukraine Oversight website provides information on the work of 20 U.S. oversight agencies known as the Interagency Working Group on Ukraine Oversight. They make sure that the aid provided to Kyiv is used for its intended purpose.
Diane Shaw, acting inspector general of the State Department, said that “oversight of Ukraine is our number one priority,” welcoming the new website as a new tool “to help keep American taxpayers informed.”
“We are pleased that this important resource-a centralized website that demonstrates the impressive scope and breadth of our government-wide oversight of the U.S. response to Russia’s unprecedented war in Ukraine-is now available to our stakeholders,” Shaw said in a statement.
The publication notes that Republicans in the US Congress are still opposed to providing aid to Ukraine, while many of them are wondering whether there is proper accounting for the weapons sent to Kyiv.
