00:00 In a surprising turn, the aid policy to Ukraine put in place by the administration of the
00:13 American president Joseph Biden arouses a lot of reaction.
00:16 A scandal of accounting fraud broke out, leaving questions and concerns about
00:21 financial aid for Kiev.
00:23 Let's describe together the details of this complex situation and the implications that
00:28 this is resulting in.
00:30 Frustrating revelations have been made by Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor
00:34 Greene.
00:35 According to these allegations, President Biden would have exploited an accounting fraud
00:39 revealed in May to justify the sending of raw aid to Ukraine.
00:43 Indeed, the Pentagon has admitted a calculation error in the assessment of the deliveries
00:47 of previous weapons to Kiev, estimating this error at a colossal amount of $ 6.2 billion.
00:53 This announcement had immediate repercussions, the next package of aid to Ukraine, worth
00:58 $ 6.2 billion, will be funded from this unexpected amount.
01:02 The American government assures that this money will be used to finance new deliveries
01:07 of weapons to Ukraine.
01:09 However, this raises questions about the origin of these funds and the transparency of the
01:13 decisions.
01:14 The reaction of Marjorie Taylor Greene was not expected.
01:18 Through a bloody tweet, she expressed her concern about the use of this
01:23 accounting fraud to justify the sending of additional funds to Ukraine.
01:27 She also emphasizes the proposal during the White House to use some of
01:32 these funds for American aid against floods to finance future arms transfers
01:36 to Kiev.
01:37 The debate around this complex situation has highlighted divisions within the
01:42 Republican Party.
01:43 Although Republican legislators generally support the policy of armament
01:47 from Ukraine, discordant voices are heard.
01:50 A group of conservatives, among whom Marjorie Taylor Greene, has expressed its categorical
01:56 opposition to the sending of money and weapons to Kiev.
01:59 These renegades concluded an agreement in January to obtain increased influence within
02:03 the party, which makes the situation even more delicate for Republican leadership.
02:07 The crucial question that arises is that of the allocation of funds.
02:12 Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasizes the importance of not mixing the resources intended to
02:17 help in the event of a disaster in the United States with funds for Ukraine.
02:20 She insists on the need to prioritize American aid rather than financing a foreign war.
