Could this be the tip of an iceberg ?
With so much money sloshing around it's invevitable many audits are required.
IIRC the UK alone gave around $15 billion to Ukraine with £5 billion in non-military aid.



"Ukraine's former energy minister has been detained while attempting to leave the country, after being among officials named in a corruption scandal, authorities have said.

German Galushchenko, who was forced out of his government role last year, was reportedly apprehended while on a train leaving Ukraine. It is unclear where he intended to travel to.

He was one of several figures in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's government implicated in alleged $100m (£75m) embezzlement scheme in November.

The scandal threatened to engulf his administration, which swept to power before Russia's full-scale invasion on the promise to root out corruption.

Zelensky's chief-of-staff Andriy Yermak - his closest adviser throughout the war - resigned after his home was searched."
