US funds for Ukraine Military Aid: Many western countries including America-Britain are providing military and economic help to Ukraine fighting the war with Russia in Europe. America alone has sent weapons worth billions of dollars to Ukraine. Recently, more than $ 3 billion was given to Ukraine by the US Department of Defense, which is more than the value of weapons and other military equipment provided to Ukraine. This is considered a major mistake in the calculation of the US Defense Department, although it has opened up the fate of Ukraine.
An accounting error in the US Department of Defense means that more money will now be available for military aid to Ukraine in retaliation against Russian forces. The US Defense Department overstated the value of weapons and other military equipment provided to Ukraine by nearly $3 billion, officials said, in what has been thought to be an accounting error that could lead to more weapons being sent to Ukraine. can pave the way.
‘The value of military equipment has been exaggerated’
Officials said that in many military aid packages sent to Ukraine, the Defense Department opted to draw from existing US stockpiles of older, non-existent items because it had to send them as quickly as possible. The accounting error was the result of assigning a higher than warranted value to the old weapons, which were derived from existing stocks. “During our routine inspection process of presidential drawdown packages, the Department discovered discrepancies in the equipment evaluation for Ukraine,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said on Thursday. In some cases, ‘replacement cost’ was used instead of ‘net book value’, thus exaggerating the value of equipment taken out of US stocks, he added.
Pentagon engaged in investigation
A defense official told The Associated Press that the Pentagon is still trying to determine the total value of the surplus. News agency Reuters cited a US defense official who said the amount of high-value weapons could potentially exceed $3 billion, although the Pentagon would investigate the situation more thoroughly. And the result of a US defense accounting error could mean the Defense Department will have more money available to send to Ukraine as part of the much-anticipated offensive against Russian forces.
