Pentagon Uncovers Additional $2 Billion in Ukraine Aid Miscalculations
New accounting errors bring total improperly valued military support to $8.2 billion, allowing for more aid to be sent.
- A Government Accountability Office report identified $2 billion more in overvalued defense articles sent to Ukraine.
- The Pentagon previously acknowledged $6.2 billion in miscalculations due to using replacement value instead of depreciated value.
- Clarification of valuation definitions in the Foreign Assistance Act is recommended to prevent future errors.
- The additional errors enable the Biden administration to send more military aid to Ukraine.
- The U.S. remains Ukraine's largest military supporter, with over $53 billion in aid provided so far.
