First on FOX: In the war of words between President Donald Trump and Ukraine's Voldymee Zelensky, Sen. Josh Hawley is pitching a law that would set up special inspectors for Ukrainian aid.
R-Mo. Holy is reintroducing the laws that Vance sponsored along with Vice President JD Vance when he was in the Senate.
The special inspector of the Ukrainian Aid Law was voted by the then Democratic Aid Senate when Holy first introduced him in 2023. It could become law.
“American taxpayers shouldn't have to wonder where billions of people to Ukraine went, or if they're funding there now. They've all been shipped over there “It deserves the Penny Council's accounting,” Holy said in a statement.
Waltz says Ukraine should “easy” criticism of Trump

The watchdog is similar to that created for the reconstruction of Afghanistan, known as cigars. It also was created to investigate Cares Act Fraud during the Covid-19 pandemic known as Sigpur, and another created after the 2008 financial crisis, which audits troubled asset relief programs. It was created for. (sigtarp).
Under the Holi bill, Ukrainian inspectors will implement supervision of aid programs run by the Department of Defense, the State Department, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The law sucks up dollars from the Ukrainian Economic Support Fund for offices and inspectors.

And when Congress disliked the budget blueprint, Holy warned Senate leaders not to “slip” Ukrainian aid. “We shouldn't give Ukraine more dimes, we should audit the billions we have already given,” he said.
Hughry's actions take place after Trump called the Ukrainian leader “a dictator,” and tensions between Trump and Zelensky called the war “should not have started” this week.
Zelenskyy said Trump is active in the “disinformation field.”

This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio Steve Witkov and national security adviser Mike Waltz sat down with their Russian counterparts to agree to increase their diplomatic presence in each other's countries.
While Holy alienated from calling Zelensky a “dictator,” he supported Trump's claim that Ukraine should hold elections, even at war.

“We held elections during World War II,” Holy said. “If they're a democracy, they should vote. I don't think that's difficult.”
“[Zelenskyy] I'm the elected leader “But you know that at some point you have to have an election,” Holy said.
Trump is urging Zelensky to pay for past US support. Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent traveled to Ukraine and handed the Ukrainian president a draft that would qualify the US for hundreds of millions of minerals.
National security adviser Mike Waltz said on Thursday that Ukraine would need to sign a mineral trade to “get it right.”

“We are an incredible historical figure in Ukrainians that the United States will co-invest with Ukraine, invest in its economy, invest in its natural resources, and become Ukraine's future partners in a sustainable way. It really presented the opportunity, but I think it's far more than anything more than another palette of ammunition, and the best security guarantee they can expect,” he said.
