The US wants to send auditors to Ukraine to check the use of the transferred aid

The United States of America wants auditors and investigators to work directly in the war zone in Ukraine to verify the intended use of economic and military aid.

 

 This was stated by the US inspectors general in a comment to The Wall Street Journal.

 

 Officials responsible for ensuring that American weapons are not diverted, that taxpayer funds are not wasted and that aid programs work properly, said they plan to send some of the 177 auditors who scrutinize aid to Ukraine.

 

 "I think we've been creative and out-of-the-box, forward-looking, in the surveillance we've been able to do so far. But for real comprehensive, robust surveillance, it can't be done remotely. The closer we get, the more comprehensive the surveillance will be." , - said acting Inspector General of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Nicole Angarella.

 

 She also added that the main concern is not possible misuse of military aid, but more than 20 billion dollars, which the USA sends to Ukraine through the World Bank.

 

 "Cash payments pose the greatest risk to oversight... They are always more at risk," Angarella said.

 

 The inspectors clarified that they have not yet received any information about major frauds or illegal actions related to US aid to Ukraine.

 

 At the same time, according to Pentagon Inspector General Robert Storch and State Department Deputy Inspector General Diana Shaw, the main problems for thorough inspections are the very large amount of aid, the speed of its arrival and the constantly changing nature of supplies.
