Pentagon Says Accounting Error Frees Up Another $3B for Ukraine | Compare reporting by AP theblaze Reuters
On Thursday, the Pentagon said that an accounting error would free up another $3 billion for Ukraine, and that the Defense Department had overestimated the value of the missiles, ammunition, and other equipment it sent to Ukraine.: The Defense Department is still trying to determine the amount of the over-valuation, and it is not clear which weapons had been overestimated.
Whatever the amount, the accounting error could be a boon for the Ukrainian war effort, because it allows the Pentagon to send more weapons to Ukraine without asking Congress for more funds: "During our regular oversight process of presidential drawdown packages, the Department discovered inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine," Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said in a statement, according to the outlet.
