She’s saying that like the US was just shipping cash to Ukraine. I’m pretty sure all those aid packages were actually giving the money to various defense contractors to purchase and then ship the military hardware to Ukraine.
Mostly. About 30% is/was cash, but most of that is/was for humanitarian stuff, like rehousing refugees. Also, the US has been watching its donated equipment and cash very closely and can tell you exactly how much is going missing. Even in the US there will be missing money and equipment, and the US routinely donates things to countries more corrupt than Ukraine, so it’s not like they’re completely inexperienced at this. Anyway, not much has gone missing, and as the war goes on Ukraine has become less corrupt as a result of necessity and US aid, especially around military stuff.
Most of the aid packages was stuff the US military already had in stock. They just sent the old stock to Ukraine, and rotated in new stock bought from American contractors

Yeah if anything, the contractors should be audited
