FOI request unveils Defense Department report showing the guns we send to Ukraine have very little oversight, often end up with arms dealers
· Jul 25, 2023 · NottheBee.com

If you don't support the United States sending infinite money and arms to Ukraine, with no oversight, no restrictions, and no end in sight then you're a Putin stooge!

Oh, and, by the way, lots of the billions in equipment we're sending to Ukraine are ending up in the hands of criminal gangs and arms dealers. At least, according to a DoD Inspector General report.

But you're unpatriotic if you notice!

The 19-page report, which was issued last October and only became public after a Heritage Foundation Freedom of Information Act request, details specific instances in which U.S. shipments were intercepted by criminal actors in Ukraine. In one example, Ukraine's security services, Sluzhba Bezpeky Ukrainy (SBU), disrupted a plot by gangs to pose "as members of a humanitarian aid organization who distributed bulletproof vests."

"The group illicitly imported the vests and sold them, rather than distributed them to Ukrainian forces. A member of the group was found with a cache of vests worth $17,000," the report reads.

This is just one example of many given in the report.

And this is just what we know about being intercepted without any official oversight once it makes it to Ukraine!

Think about how much is misused or sold off once it's out of our hands!

Or don't think about that. I'd hate to be a tool of Russia by asking the government to keep tabs on how our taxpayer dollars are used overseas.

In another instance the SBU "disrupted a group of arms traffickers who were selling weapons and ammunition stolen from the front lines in southern Ukraine," the report said.

In other instances, criminal groups were found to be storing weapons sent to Ukraine by the United States.

"In mid-August 2022, the SBU disrupted a group of volunteer battalion members who took more than 60 rifles and almost 1,000 rounds of ammunition and stored them illegally in a warehouse, presumably for sale on the black market," the report reads.

Criminals having US weapons and ammo is so common that US officials just randomly stumble upon it all the time.

We've sent more than $100 billion of our tax money to Ukraine, with no signs of slowing, and we have no clue how Zelensky and the corrupt Ukraine government are using them.
