The Department of Defense Office of Inspector General reported that over $1 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine, meant to be closely monitored, cannot be fully accounted for.

The report highlighted that a significant portion of the equipment, 59%, remained delinquent in tracking.

Concerns were raised that the untracked weapons could be stolen or smuggled, potentially impacting lawmakers’ support for continued weapon provisions.

The Pentagon claimed there are “multiple reasons” for the tracking errors.

The errors noted are “the limited number of ODC‑Ukraine personnel at logistics hubs in a partner nation and in Ukraine, the absence of procedures for conducting EEUM in a hostile environment until December 2022, the movement restrictions for EEUM personnel within Ukraine, and a lack of internal controls for validating data in the SCIP‑EUM database.”
