Ministry Of Defence Assures Debts Will Be Paid Amid Technical Issues
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has announced that payments under the ePoints program are delayed due to technical issues and plans to refinance the program using loan funds from the European Union. The ministry has assured that all due payments to manufacturers for equipment already delivered will be made. The program, which enables combat units to choose equipment directly from manufacturers, has been affected by the delays, with some manufacturers reportedly owed hundreds of millions of hryvnias. The Ministry of Defence stated that stable funding for the program and timely payment for deliveries remain among its priorities, as reported by UNN.
