Vegan, Hallane and Kosher: Reznikov told what a new menu for the Armed Forces will be

Reznikov stressed that there was always a zero tolerance for corruption in the profile ministry and the Armed Forces. The Minister of Defense added that no misunderstandings, such as a scandal with the purchase of products at inflated prices, should no longer have any misunderstandings in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "I see the solution to introduce a flexible but unified menu system in the Armed Forces.

The formation of which will not be money and calories, but units of measurement and calories," Reznikov said. According to him, this is a common approach and NATO standard. "At the meeting of the Anti-Corruption Committee, I voiced the obligation to introduce the menu for 4-5 months. We have identified this task as a priority and we will try to solve it faster," Reznikov emphasized.

In order to start this process, Alexei Reznikov will ask to organize a joint meeting of two committees, as it will be necessary to concentrate specialists and provide the necessary momentum. They will also create a working group that will work out the issue of creating a new menu for the military by all dimensions - from the procedure of introduction to the content of the menu.

In addition, the head of the Ministry of Defense promised that he would personally contact the market to support the transition to the menu system. "I will also be in a constant dialogue with the market to provide stable nutrition during the transition period," he said. The head of the Ministry of Defense explained that there are special requirements for the nutrition of species, families and forces of the Armed Forces. There are Navy, paratroopers, aviation with their features.

There are differences between food in the field at the front and at the point of constant dislocation. And all these differences need to be taken into account. Also for the Ukrainian military will develop a vegan, halalne, kosher menu and a lean menu of the Christian tradition. We will remind, on January 21 journalist Yuri Nikolav stated that the Ministry of Defense will steal budget funds by inflating the prices of food for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Judging by the documents published by journalists, the department ordered eggs for 17 UAH apiece and potatoes for 22 UAH per kg, although in Kiev the retail price is 7 and 9 UAH, respectively. Focus also wrote that at the beginning of October 2022 a petition on the President's website "On the introduction of vegetarian and vegan dry rations for the Armed Forces of Ukraine" gained 25,000 votes necessary for consideration by the Head of State.
