U.S. military lacks oversight in Ukraine and is losing weapons, watchdog says.
JTN: Western nation weapons sent to Ukraine have been intercepted by Russians, criminal gangs and other bad actors, similar to the lack of oversight of U.S. weaponry in Afghanistan, according to multiple Defense Department inspector general reports.
Ukraine’s security service last year disrupted at least some weapon-steal plots including one by a group of arms traffickers, another by Ukrainian criminals who posed as members of a humanitarian aid organization and yet another by a criminal group run by an unnamed Russian official, the report states.
The partially redacted report does not specify whether the stolen weapons were given to Ukraine by the U.S.
However it states the Ukrainian government was “unable to conduct required EUM (End-Use Monitoring] of military equipment the U.S. provided to Ukraine” in fiscal 2022, which essentially means the Kiev could verify the equipment ever got into the hands of its military.
The report, which was made public last week but is dated Oct. 6, 2022, states that the Defense Department’s “ability to monitor equipment provided to Ukraine was hampered because of the limited number of U.S. personnel allowed in the country and movement restrictions placed on those personnel.”
After the report was written but before it was made public, the Pentagon inspector general said in April that nearly 100 people are engaged in Ukraine oversight, with 20 of them deployed in the region. more

Ran across a video yesterday,Syrian dude,went to Ukraine to give them a hand,left after 3 months,was paid in US dollars when he flew back home,thought he would buy a motorcycle when he got home,
Purchases one,dealer goes into office to write up sale.
!0 minutes later he is surrounded by police,half the US dollars he was given turned out to be counterfeit.
Go figure.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
“Ukraine’s security service last year disrupted at least some weapon-steal plots including one by a group of arms traffickers…”
Remember that Russian arms dealer Joey traded for the sexually confused basketball player?
Remember when politicians pulled the US out of Vietnam before the job was finished?
Maybe because ‘Nam has no oil deposits?
At least they had sense enough back then to dump all that hardware into the ocean so the commies couldn’t use it.
