US officials say no evidence of Ukraine misusing aid

PENTAGON officials said yesterday there is no evidence of Ukraine misusing the tens of billions in aid provided since Russia invaded, as Republican lawmakers in Washington move to step up oversight.

Military aid for Kyiv has topped US$50 (RM220) billion since the invasion, more than half of it provided by the United States – sparking criticism from some politicians, including 11 Republicans who have co-sponsored a resolution saying all assistance for Ukraine must end.
