The Ministry of Defense will seek 617 million hryvnias in court for canceled contracts
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has secured the return of nearly 617 million hryvnias through court rulings regarding unfulfilled contracts for the supply of the Defense Forces.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The case involves three court proceedings in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, and Kharkiv regions concerning the failure to deliver oil, distillates, and military supplies in 2015 and 2022.
Specifically, a court in the Dnipropetrovsk region ordered the head of one of the companies to return over 517 million hryvnias due to violations of bankruptcy procedures. An additional 9.6 million hryvnias are to be recovered from the head of another company in the Kirovohrad region.
In addition, the Ministry of Defense plans to recover over 90 million hryvnias under an unfulfilled contract with a company in the Kharkiv region. The assets of the individuals involved have already been seized, and evidence is being gathered.
The ministry noted that the recovered funds will be directed toward new procurements for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Recently, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine certified and approved for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine three fiber-optic FPV systems manufactured by enterprises of JSC “Ukrainian Defense Industry.”
Prior to this, the Ministry of Defense had certified and approved the domestic unmanned aerial system “Volynyaka” for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine approved the Shablya MK19(M) remotely controlled combat module for use by the military. It is equipped with an MK19 40mm automatic grenade launcher.
