Pentagon accounting error overvalued Ukraine military aid by $3 billion

Firstpost  

The Pentagon on Thursday revealed that it has overcounted the value of the military aid the United States sent to Ukraine by at least $3 billion, according to a report. According to The Hill report, citing a defense official, the Pentagon is still determining the total over-valuation but assesses it to be at least $3 billion, which effectively means that another $3 billion worth of weapons is now available to be given to Ukraine The Wall Street Journal had first reported that the Defence Department overestimated the value of the missiles, vehicles, ammunition and other equipment it sent from US stocks to Ukraine due to an accounting error. Republican lawmakers express frustration Still, some Republican lawmakers expressed frustration Thursday at the error, including House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul and House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers. “The revelation of a three-billion-dollar accounting error discovered two months ago and only today shared with Congress is extremely problematic, to say the least,” The Hill quoted the the two saying in a joint statement.
