As the publication notes, the Pentagon made a mistake in accurately assessing the cost of military equipment sent to Ukraine due to unclear definitions in accounting.
And this is not the first time this has happened. Last year, the Pentagon said it used “replacement cost” instead of “amortized cost” to calculate billions in supplies sent to Ukraine. That led to a $6.2 billion miscalculation that was later used to send new aid.
Another $2 billion in overstatements has since been discovered. That amount of additional weapons could be sent to Ukraine.
