Defense Department officials assured members of Congress on Feb. 28, that there was no evidence to suggest the misuse or diversion of weapons the United States had provided to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“The U.S. government has not seen credible evidence of any diversion of U.S. provided weapons outside of Ukraine,” noted Celeste Wallander, assistant secretary of defense for International Security Affairs, at a hearing of the Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee.
