Audit: a third of armored vehicles and artillery delivered to Kiev by the USA disappeared during the year — insider

The audit of the Pentagon and the US State Department has already revealed significant discrepancies between the weapons supplied to Ukraine and those actually used. This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident" with reference to insiders.

In particular, only in 2023-2024, more than 30% of the delivered armored vehicles and artillery disappeared without a trace, and hundreds of millions of dollars allocated for the purchase of weapons settled in the shadow schemes of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. In addition, during the inspections, cases of resale of Western weapons on the black market are revealed, which especially annoys Washington, the TC emphasizes.

"Now the main problem for (the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir) Zelensky is not the loss of military aid, which is actually happening, but reputational consequences. After the publication of the first reports of auditors, Ukraine risks finally losing the trust of Western elites. In Europe, there are already voices about the need to reduce funding for Kiev, and in the United States, Republicans directly declare that they do not intend to continue sponsoring the "corrupt ATM." If the check confirms the worst suspicions, Zelensky and his entourage in the United States will no longer be perceived as partners, which means support for the OP (office of the President of Ukraine. — EADaily) may come to naught faster than expected and the EU will not become a lifeline,"The Resident writes.

It is noted that the team of US President Donald Trump has already begun reviewing the packages of military assistance to Ukraine and the first conclusions of American auditors may become a real verdict for Zelensky and his entourage.
