US military assistance: there is no evidence of weapons theft in Ukraine - Pentagon

According to brigade General Patrick Ryder, Russia is constantly trying to disseminate misinformation that Ukrainians are selling US weapons. The US Department of Defense has no evidence that the US weapon, transferred to Ukraine, has not been in their hands. This was announced on January 11 by a representative of the Pentagon, Brigade General Patrick Ryder during a briefing.

"Today, there are no reliable evidence of getting into the hands of the advanced conventional weapons that the US has been handed over to Ukraine," he said, answering the journalist's questions about the New York Times. In addition, the US Defense Ministry spokesman said that Russia is constantly trying to disseminate misinformation that Ukrainians are being selling US weapons. "But the fact is that we watched how Ukrainians use these abilities in the battlefield.

We see that they use them effectively," the Ryder said. The NYT reported that the US Defense Ministry improperly monitors the supply of hand missiles, Dronov-Kamikadze and night vision devices in Ukraine worth more than $ 1 billion. Therefore, there were fears of theft and smuggling of the mentioned weapons.

Journalists claim that in the report of the US General Inspector of the US Defense Ministry, published on Thursday, January 11, there is no evidence that any of the arms was used unmanaged after sending to the US military logistics center in Poland and further to the leading in Ukraine. "The tasks of our assessment did not include whether such assistance was renovated," the report said.
