Pentagon Accounting Error Results in $3 Billion More Available for Ukraine Aid

  • The Pentagon overestimated the value of military aid sent to Ukraine by $3 billion due to an accounting error.
  • The Biden administration will not have to ask Congress to authorize more aid for Ukraine in the near future due to the discovery of the error.
  • The error was caused by officials overvaluing weapons and equipment taken from U.S. stocks and sent to Ukraine.
  • The total amount of overvalued equipment could end up being higher than $3 billion.
  • The additional funding means the Pentagon can send more weapons to Ukraine to aid in their counteroffensive against Russia's invasion.
