Not to be a cynic, but a realist, you do not have to worry. It turns out Johnson’s Chief Advisor is a former lobbyist for two Ukraine firms. Once they determine how much his payoff will be, the funding will go through.
More people need to be aware of how much the Bidens are financially in bed with Communist China.

Have to see what he does. I still think he is a decent man, may not be a good speaker, though. We need the best, too much confusion in the house.

Most of the aid for Ukraine for the most part goes like this: we go to an arms company, like Raytheon, and buy say, missiles. They are shipped to Ukraine. So you want to trace these missiles and see if they are used against Russian targets?

Czech defense group CSG plans ammunition venture in Ukraine
PRAGUE, March 6 (Reuters) - Czechoslovak Group (CSG), one of Europe's biggest ammunition producers, is looking to set up joint ventures to invest hundreds of millions of euros in Ukraine to boost the country's defense
e capacities, CSG's billionaire owner said on Wednesday.
The ventures would focus on heavy ammunition and equipment, providing important technology and a way to ramp up production in the coming years, although not an immediate fix to Europe's drive to get more artillery rounds to Ukraine now, Michal Strnad told a group of journalists.
CSG has become an important supplier to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, delivering refurbished T-72 tanks along with ammunition, howitzers, and other equipment.
Its business has soared with those supplies, along with a renewed focus in Europe on defense spending. Revenues hit 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) in 2022, the latest year available.
The 31-year-old Strnad, who grew CSG after taking full ownership from his father in 2018, said the joint ventures (JV) would expand facilities for state-owned Ukrainian defense firms.
"We have two or three projects under discussion for JVs," he said at his Prague headquarters.
"The agreement will probably be done this year, but then two to three years (before production). If we have an agreement, we would transfer the technology for different calibers and different equipment."
Strnad said the deals would be similar to Rheinmetall's (RHMG.DE), opening a new tab, a major German arms producer that said last month it would start joint production with Ukraine of 155mm-caliber artillery ammunition, which CSG also produces.
Artillery ammunition has become a pressing issue for Ukraine after two years of fighting. More countries have been signing up for a Czech government-led initiative to source hundreds of thousands of rounds from outside Europe for Ukraine.
"In terms of artillery and tank ammunition, you have in Europe very limited capacities," Strnad said.
CSG's tank and heavy equipment deliveries to Ukraine are mainly funded by other European Union or NATO countries. Strnad said the company had sent around 150 to 160 pieces of equipment this way since the war started.
"It will be more now because we managed to find another source, so are currently buying additional pieces that we will refurbish for them," he said, without giving details.
CSG started business in the mid-1900s when Strnad's father, Jaroslav, began collecting old tanks for scrap metal before realizing there was a market in other countries, such as in Africa, for their parts or refurbishment.

Just a bit simplistic. Not all funds go to arms. Having said that, if they are using the provided arms for defense, they should still be able to account for a majority.

Not when it’s much needed attention here at home which Biden’s massive funding being spent on other nations, including unfreezing
the terrorist nation of Iran, so they can continue to fund their own proxy terrorist nations. They are doing their best to become nuclear armed, then they’ll have all kinds of atrocities planned for America and our long term ally, Israel.
You’re correct that’s just WRONG.

The right thing to do was not start it. We are now compounding that mistake. The war is lost. We are simply wasting money and Ukrainian lives.

Both Obama and Biden claimed to be the most transparent Administrations, neither of them are/were.
Trump was transparent and they twisted everything and crucified him with lies.
