Details: Kirby also said that Ukraine shares the US concerns about ensuring proper accountability and transparency in the use of US equipment.

"We all want as much oversight and accountability as possible. Ukraine receives equipment and systems purchased at taxpayer expense, but this is war. During a battle, it is impossible to perfectly predict the movement of every piece of equipment a soldier takes with him into battle," Kirby added.

Background: 

  • American auditors arrived in Kyiv in January to ensure the accountability of US military and financial aid.
  • US Agency for International Development (USAID) reported on 29 March that inspectors have found no signs of serious violations in this regard.
