Maj. Gen. Antonio A. Aguto Jr., who led the Security Assistance Group-Ukraine until last year, first lost a tube of Secret-level maps detailing force positions on a train from Kyiv to Germany in April 2024; embassy staff recovered it untouched the next day. Weeks later on May 13, he consumed far more than the allowed two drinks—roughly two 500 ml bottles of strong Georgian chacha—during a dinner with Ukrainian counterparts, leading to three falls, a concussion, and slurred speech noted by witnesses at meetings with Secretary Blinken and others the next day. The March 12 inspector general report substantiated excess alcohol and incapacitation but found no compromise of materials or intoxication during meetings; it recommends Army discipline review amid questions on leadership in high-stakes missions.
