Pentagon's $6.2 Billion Accounting Error Boosts Ukraine Aid

The Pentagon has discovered a $6.2 billion accounting error that overvalued the amount of military equipment sent to Ukraine since Russia's invasion last year. The error will allow the Pentagon to send more weapons to Ukraine before requesting more money from Congress. The Biden administration has sent over $40 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the invasion. The errors free up funds that can be allocated without congressional approval before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. Support for U.S. assistance to Ukraine has been declining, particularly among Republicans.
