By KYIV. Nov 1 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Given the unprecedented volume of aid that the United States provides to Ukraine, a number of leaders of the U.S. Republican Party demand to establish control over its use by Kyiv, Bloomberg said.
The aid packages approved by Congress require Ukraine to detail its spending plans and keep the money provided by the U.S. separate from funds from other sources.
According to Bloomberg, Kyiv has already received more than $60 billion in military and humanitarian aid from the United States.
"Now some Republican leaders want to toughen oversight over how those funds are being spent. They are right to do so," the agency said.
As campaign spending rises for the upcoming midterm elections, journalists said, "more transparency over how billions are being spent would protect U.S. taxpayers and sustain political support for the war."
According to the authors of the publication, in exchange for the consent of Congress to continue supplying arms and aid to Ukraine, U.S. President Joe Biden should appoint an observer to monitor U.S. spending in Ukraine, as was done earlier in Afghanistan.
