"The United States has no objections to the accounting of aid provided to Ukraine": the Ministry of Defence responds to media accusations of "stealing" weapons

Accounting for weapons from the United States in Ukraine

A US inspection of the logistical assistance line has shown that the US side has no complaints about Ukraine's accounting for weapons and military equipment. The day before, CNN published a news story about the alleged spontaneous theft of Western weapons for resale to third countries.

Deputy Defence Minister Volodymyr Havrylov said that the story was in fact fake, the ministry's press service reports. Artillery, ammunition, sophisticated air defence systems, armoured vehicles - everything is taken into account in Ukraine.

"Last year, an automated system was introduced to account for all weapons and military equipment and to keep track of their logistics. With the help of our partners, we introduced the LOGFAS and Korovai programmes, which allow us to track military equipment to a military unit using barcodes and QR codes, and, if necessary, to come there and see what is there," the military said.

It is worth noting that the scandalous CNN story told about the far-fetched risks of the United States losing the weapons it supplies to Ukraine in the form of military aid to fight the occupiers. According to their information, the Pentagon allegedly indicated that it could track the transfer of missiles and aircraft with the help of intelligence, but was "lost in guesses" about what to do with night vision devices.

As OBOZREVATEL reported earlier this year, American auditors arrived in Kyiv to monitor the use of military aid. They arrived along with consultants from the World Bank and Deloitte to make sure that "no aid or weapons are being diverted to third countries".
