When will we be getting that oversight of Ukraine funding?

The Russian invasion of Ukraine hits its one-year anniversary this week, and lawmakers want to know: where has all the money gone?

With $113 billion allocated by Congress to help Ukraine in the past year, House Oversight Committee Chair U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding oversight of how those funds are being spent.

“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,” the letter said.

The groups under scrutiny are the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, three groups that will largely be handling the more than $100 billion in Congressional funding.

Comer pointed to the waste of taxpayer dollars during the war in Afghanistan.
