How much unaccounted for money and weapons are we going to send to Ukraine?

Ten Myths about US Aid to Ukraine, for the May 2022 Ukraine funding bill:

"Myth 1: There is not enough oversight of US aid to Ukraine."

"...Reality: There has likely never been more accountability or transparency measures in place for US foreign assistance than what is available for Ukraine aid. Take the biggest (and most controversial) supplemental from last May, which allocated $40.1 billion. This bill was 699 lines long. Of these, 110 lines dealt with accountability, transparency, and reporting requirements. Therefore, 16 percent of the bill's text was dedicated to oversight."

Accountability is part of the legislation for the appropriations. Ukraine is not getting money to buy what it wants; the money is not actually going to any Ukrainian back accounts. It is going to the US and European suppliers of weapons, munitions, equipment, aid and shipping, with all the accounting that comes along with it.

Remember when the military conducted an audit in Ukraine and our Putinistas cried to high heaven about it being “boots on the ground” and highly provocative?

They claim that the weapons are stolen and therefore no more weapons should be sent.

They also claim that conducting an audit (that showed the weapons are there and used properly) is a terrible provocation.
