Where Ukraine's money goes is revealed by the US Congress.

The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee admitted that most of the money Congress has designated for aiding the government in Kiev has actually gone to the US military-industrial complex. Representative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican, insisted that his oversight of the aid is not intended to undermine or question the importance of support for Kiev, but to let American taxpayers know how their money was being spent. Witnesses at the hearing included the acting or permanent inspectors-general at the Pentagon, the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). McCaul argued that the oversight would promote the efficiency and effectiveness of Ukraine funding, in service of US interests. He also noted that the multinational consulting company Deloitte is working with the Ukrainian government to verify the expenditure of US cash sent to prop up Kiev’s state budget. Moscow has warned the West that supplying Ukraine with weapons and equipment only prolongs the war and raises the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.
