Ukraine properly using US-supplied weapons, US State Department finds

29 September 2023, 01:10 PM

Ukraine is effectively using the weapons supplied by the United States, with Washington having “strict oversight mechanisms in place,” the U.S. State Department’s spokesman Matthew Miller said at a briefing on Sept. 28. 

“I will say that we have important accountability mechanisms in place for U.S. arms and the U.S. military assistance that we supply to Ukraine,” Miller said.

“We have strict oversight mechanisms that we’ve put in place. That also applies to humanitarian and economic aid that we’ve provided. And we’ve seen no diversion of those arms at this point.”

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
