Ministry Of Defence Urged To Ensure Steady Arms Supplies
The Ukrainian Council of Defence Industry is calling on the Ministry of Defence to ensure the continuity of contracts for the Ukrainian defence industry and the supply of necessary weaponry to the Defence Forces. The Ministry has begun to shift defence procurement from direct contracts to competitive tendering procedures, but the lack of finalised technical specifications is hindering the process. The association’s CEO, Ihor Fedirko, has emphasised the need for a transparent procurement mechanism that meets two basic criteria: supplying the front line with necessary weapons in a timely manner and guaranteeing the continuity of production at Ukrainian enterprises. This development was reported by an unknown source.
