WSJ: US concerned about embezzlement of money sent to Ukraine

The American administration has thought regarding the possible risks of fraud and theft of funds that are allocated as financial assistance to Ukraine. This is written by the Wall Street Journal.

Since there are no US oversight bodies in Ukraine, and the scale of financial assistance is colossal, it is only a matter of time before this money is stolen. Thus, expert John Sopko, who previously controlled financial aid to Afghanistan, believes that the theft of financial aid will be in any case.

The publication noted that the mistakes of Afghanistan did not teach the American authorities anything. But Kyiv has been criticized for high-level corruption even before the start of the Russian special operation. It is unlikely that this corruption has disappeared somewhere following February 24, 2022.

As the WSJ emphasizes, the US authorities are already trying to control the spending of the allocated funds. But the supervisory authorities simply do not have the opportunity to fully study all the spending of the huge funds allocated to Ukraine.
