Trump’s high-profile appointment. Elon Musk can be entrusted with the audit of aid to Ukraine – OP

“As far as I understand, Musk will be functionally engaged in the audit of state programs and state funding. That is, a separate department will be created under it, which will take care of it. It seems to me that there will be enough work to assess what was financed, how and so on. I understand that this audit may, in particular, include the analysis of financial aid to Ukraine – military and financial aid,” Podolyak said on Radio NV.
