It turns out all of the millions of dollars worth of arms weapons the Biden Administration is sending to Ukraine to fight its ongoing war with Russia are ending up in the hands of criminal gangs.
The U.S. Defense Department’s inspector general report found a lack of accountability in maintaining the equipment it sends to Ukraine.
According to the 19-page report by the Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a group posing as humanitarian aid workers worked to obtain a hoard of U.S.-provided bulletproof vests.
“In late June 2022, the SBU disrupted a group of Ukrainian criminals posing as members of a humanitarian aid organization who distributed bulletproof vests,” the report read. “The group illicitly imported the vests and sold them rather than distributed them to Ukrainian forces. A group member was found with a cache of vests worth $17,000.”
The report was issued last October, and since then, the U.S. has provided over $113 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including military, humanitarian, and financial aid.
Other groups managed to steal weapons stockpiles, hundreds of rifles, and helmets.
“In mid-August 2022, the SBU disrupted a group of volunteer battalion members who took more than 60 rifles and almost 1,000 rounds of ammunition and stored them illegally in a warehouse, presumably for sale on the black market,” the report continued.
The GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which calls for a special inspector general to oversee spending in Ukraine.
Despite the Biden Administration opposing such an act, Republicans have vowed to stop sending millions of U.S. dollars to Ukraine.

Biden crime family gangs
Don’t raise your hand if you meet or exceed the numbers mentioned...............
We’re paying the salaries of the Ukraine government plus they’re selling some of the weapons we’re giving them.
Okay. SOME of the stuff intended for the ukes is being stolen. 😉👍
Next they will tell us that the billions in cash can’t all be accounted for and that the aid meant to help the people was stolen.
What a complete surprise!
Yeah, really! Nobody “out here” really knows the intended recipients. Gee, the Oliver North gambit comes to mind.
Yea, but the Big Guy still gets his 10%...... and that’s the important part!
But certain Putin Propagandists (you know who you are) will make it into a cause celebre for as long idiots will listen.
ya boy ..3 usable riffles and 57 clubs...
I think this tells us more about the ones making a fuss then the ones stealing weapons.
It seems like more of a misdirection to me ...
hey look over here I found some grunts pinching a couple of boxes ....
no no don't look over there at that rail car full of things ... nothing to see there ..
Bingo!
As long as the Big Guy gets his cut?
Like about 99% of it.
It’s a damn good thing Congress hasn’t demanded an audit be attached to your tax dollars 💸
I'd like to know the total amount of money and lives the U.S. has wasted fighting proxy wars since WWII ended.
So, will we get some dividends from “out” investment in the ford EV loan of our tax dollars?
This is not an accident. Biden has berm doing this on purpose.
I saw a police chief in Finland complaining motorcycle gangs we getting automatic weapons from US supplies to Ukraine.
From the point of view of the corrupt elites, all the money IS going where it’s supposed to! (into their secret accounts)
