Annexes, blockchain and military: how the US will strengthen control over weapons supply to Ukraine

About it reports Politico. The records of the American Embassy in Kiev, dated September 6, showed that US officials are trying to track every penny spent while Russian drones and missiles bombard Ukrainian cities. Ms. Bridget Brinka also participated in the diplomatic correspondence, which journalists got acquainted with journalists.

In the face of active fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces, it is difficult to carry out standard checks, it is noted in the text of the correspondence, which has occupied 9 pages. The US government agencies have mechanisms to prevent abuse of funding. In particular, inspections and investigations conducted by special inspectors.

Inspectors from several government agencies - the State Department, Pentagon and the US Agency for International Development - have created a working group to combine efforts to control how funding is distributed. The right wing of the Republican Party calls on the stricter inspections, although Marjor Taylor Green, proposed by Margor Taylor Green, has been blocked by democrats. First of all, Taylor Green also called for a radical reduction in Ukraine.

Republican representative Kevin McCarthy, who can change the speaker of the House of Representatives of Nancy Pelosi, has already warned that he did not intend to prescribe "empty checks" to Ukraine. For their part, representatives of the Democratic Party believe that it is worthwhile to refrain from such public statements to bring a message to Russia about the unity of the United States in terms of assistance to Ukraine.

The Chairman of the Committee of the House of Representatives of the Armed Forces, Adam Smith, said recently that such alarmism regarding the abuse of military assistance to Ukraine is beneficial to Russian propaganda. Correspondence of American diplomats indicates that Biden administration is trying to play ahead. Certain departments, agencies and programs are already adjusting their supervision methods.

New approaches to control over financing are largely relied on by local Ukrainian employees, some of them are in the country, but many work remotely. Their work is coordinated by a high -ranking representative of the embassy. Diplomats in their negotiations noted that in this regard, a significant role should be given to technological developments. Some representatives of the Democratic Party also call for special supervision in Ukraine in the long run.

They refer to the US experience in Iraq and Afghanistan, where special inspectors worked. In these countries, special control organizations were created when it turned out that specialized teams of investigators were needed to track large sums of money that poured into these countries, where local government agencies either worked poorly or did not work at all. Recall that the media called the condition in which Biden will agree to transfer Patriot to Ukraine.
