Follow up Evaluation of Enhanced End Use Monitoring of Defense Articles Provided to Ukraine (Report No. DODIG-2025-050)

Evaluation

The objective of this followup evaluation was to assess the extent to which the DoD conducts enhanced enduse monitoring (EEUM) of designated defense articles provided to Ukraine in accordance with DoD policy. The purpose of the DoD’s EEUM program is to safeguard designated defense articles that require additional verification and protection. In our January 10, 2024, report, we covered the period from the full‑scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 to June 2023. In this report, we found that, despite revised inventory processes for EEUM in a hostile environment, Office of Defense Cooperation– Ukraine (ODC‑Ukraine) and Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) personnel still were only able to conduct limited EEUM serial number inventories. Since our previous evaluation, ODC‑Ukraine and UAF inventory reporting processes improved and gave the DoD visibility of thousands of additional EEUM‑designated defense articles.
