Michael McCaul pointed out that, when the Republicans gained the majority in the House after mid-term elections in November last year, they made it clear that accountability would have key importance for continued aid to Ukraine.
Washington hands over only about 20% of financial aid allocated for Ukraine directly to Kiev, with about 60% of this money being received by the US side itself, head of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Michael McCaul said during a Committee hearing Wednesday.
“Of the $113 billion appropriated across four supplementals, approximately 60% is going to American troops, American workers, and modernizing American stockpiles. In fact, only 20% of the funding is going directly to the Ukrainian government in the form of direct budgetary assistance,” the lawmaker said.
He pointed out that, when the Republicans gained the majority in the House after mid-term elections in November last year, they made it clear that accountability would have key importance for continued aid to Ukraine.
The current House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) warned last fall that the Republicans would not allow the allocation of unlimited and not thoroughly justified aid to Ukraine.
