New Procurement Model Poses Risk To Frontline Operations
Ukrainian arms manufacturers have warned of potential disruptions to supplies to the front due to the new defense procurement model, which may cause a pause in weapon deliveries. The Ukrainian Council of Arms Manufacturers supports competitive and transparent procurement but emphasizes that any model must operate at the pace of war. The manufacturers propose restoring funding for direct procurement through the DOT Chain Defence mechanism to mitigate the crisis, as reported by Ukrainian National News.
