Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday demanded government agencies dolling out billions in military and financial aid to Ukraine provide documentation ensuring the funds are being protected from scams.
The increased call for scrutiny on Ukrainian aid comes as President Biden wraps up his three-day visit to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of that country. Mr. Biden made a surprise trip to Ukraine, where he walked the streets of Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, then traveled to Poland to reaffirm the West’s commitment against Russian aggression.
“It is critical that government agencies administering these funds ensure they are used for their intended purposes to prevent and reduce the risk of waste, fraud and abuse,” Committee Chairman James Comer, Kentucky Republican, wrote in a letter to several government agencies. Mr. Comer asked the agencies to turn over all documents related to monitoring the distribution of economic or security assistance, materials related to any anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine and information about funds given to outside agencies to distribute to Ukrainians.The White House has bristled at the suggestion that aid provided to Ukraine is not going to its intended purposes.
