Corruption and Mismanagement within Ukraine's Defense Dept

Ukraine Says U.S. Money Not Going to Ukraine, ‘Benefiting American Interests’

This statement was made in response to an inquiry by Breitbart News regarding whether any American tax dollars had been directed specifically to Uman, a city in Ukraine where a condo is being built on a Jewish mass grave in violation of international law and a bilateral agreement with the US.

Despite three letters from members of Congress demanding protection for the cemetery, the city has proceeded with construction.

The spokesperson explained that, instead, a “significant portion” of the billions of dollars to Ukraine is “utilized in the United States for the construction of new weapons or to replenish those dispatched to Kyiv from U.S. reserves,” adding that “an analysis” found that “nearly 90 percent” of aid granted by Congress “is benefiting American interests.”

According to a report by the Associated Press, it has been revealed that employees of a Ukrainian arms firm collaborated with defense ministry officials in embezzling nearly $40 million that was meant for purchasing weapons.

Awh, lefty at 9:43 doesn't believe the left-wing Associated Press or The New York Times now? The New York Times report highlighted instances where prepayments made for weapons mysteriously disappeared from the bank accounts of weapons dealers
