Pentagon Accounting Error Results in Extra $6.2 Billion for Ukraine Aid

Pentagon overestimated the value of weapons sent to Ukraine over the past two years due to an accounting error.
The error resulted from using replacement costs instead of the recorded value of equipment, leading to a surplus of $6.2 billion that will be used for future aid.
The additional funding will allow Ukraine to continue its counteroffensive against Russia.
The U.S. has actually provided less than $34 billion in total aid to Ukraine, according to a corrected calculation.
The accounting mistake will not impact the ongoing delivery of aid from the U.S. to Ukraine.
