Amendments to 8 contracts were amended. According to the updated documents, the cost of daily food will be from 137. 04 to 144. 06 UAH. The Ministry of Defense opened information on the cost of products purchased for food for the Armed Forces of Ukraine during 2023. Product value tables are posted on the Ministry's website.

Under the updated contracts, the cost of daily food will be from 137. 04 to 144. 06 UAH. All these costs are already included in the cost of the service. Annexes to each of the eight contracts are posted on the Ministry of Defense's website.
