Shortfalls in required monitoring by American officials mean the US cannot track more than $1bn in weapons and military equipment provided to Ukraine to fight invading Russian forces, according to a Pentagon audit released on Thursday.
The findings mean that 59 per cent of $1.7bn in defence gear that the US has provided Ukraine and was directed to guard against misuse or theft remained “delinquent," the report by the Defence Department’s office of the inspector-general, the watchdog body for the Pentagon, said.
