Inspectors from the Pentagon, State Department and USAID visited Ukraine
The Council would once again welcome three inspectors general from the Ministry of Defense, the State Department and USAID to Kyiv. Their meetings with implementers, partners, and the Ukrainian government will help strengthen oversight and accountability of U.S. aid to Ukraine, US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said in a statement.
By the way, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that in case the USA terminates its military and financial support of Ukraine, "there will be a serious threat" for Europe. At the same time, the head of state is convinced that the aid will not stop.

In the fall of 2023, US President Joe Biden asked Congress for more than $100 billion for national security needs. The package includes over $60 billion in new funding to help Ukraine. Republicans in Congress refused to support the allocation of aid, demanding stronger immigration laws.
The White House announced on January 12 that aid to Ukraine had been suspended until Congress approved new funding.
