Pentagon Admits $62 Million in Taxpayer-Funded Ukraine Military Aid Was ‘Lost or Destroyed’

Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Defense (DOD) has admitted to losing $62 million in taxpayer funds in the form of military aid sent to Ukraine.

However, according to a new report released on Wednesday, the Pentagon doesn’t actually know what happened to the weapons aid.

The DOD admitted that the weapons aid has but “lost or destroyed” but doesn’t know which.

The $62 million in weapons were designated for end-use monitoring (EEUM).

Unfortunately for American taxpayers, those weapons have since mysteriously disappeared, according to a Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General report (OIG) report.

What a shame.  That money could have been used to bring in more illegal aliens. :tongue2:

By 62, we mean 620.

I'm sure the Pentagon cannot track down munitions fired at Russian targets, so that certainly is "Lost or Destroyed". OTOH, I'll bet some Russians could provide clues, if they are honest. And some US provided tanks or Bradleys have probably been lost, so those certainly are "Lost or Destroyed".

So much for the story about "all the aid" we are sending Ukraine. I'm pretty sure that the monetary aid has been lost as well.
