The Ministry of Defense explains that this way they want to increase transparency and responsibility in the procurement process for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Director of the Defense Ministry's Procurement Policy Department Hlib Kanevsky noted that the order on the relevant list was developed pursuant to the order of Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
The new mechanism will allow to effectively monitor and analyze information on foreign contractors who have not fulfilled their contractual obligations to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
