The maintenance of the Armed Forces fighter costs the Ministry of Defense of more than 1 million hryvnias - Bloomberg

Corruption remains a problem for Ukraine's military allies because they provide weapons and finance to help repel Russia's attack. Donors, including the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, demanded a number of anti -corruption measures as the main condition for assistance. "Cleaning" among the corrupt officials led to the "two -stage mechanism" purchases from the Ministry of Defense, said Jigir.

The IU currently sets out, controls and checks quality, while two state -owned companies control purchases to reduce potential risks. According to the Deputy Minister, Kyiv has also intensified its participation in the NATO program to help countries promote defense reforms and fulfill corruption. Jigir said the KPMG accounting company would appreciate the internal audit to improve the risk management and compliance with the requirements.

In 2023, Ukraine already ranked 104th out of 180 countries in the Transparency International Corruption Index. A year earlier, she was 116th, next to Brazil and Serbia. The Ministry also cooperates with Pentagon colleagues within the limits of efforts to eliminate concern about how the Ukrainian forces store and place Western ammunition. He said that six inspections from the United States on military sites in Ukraine checked how certain types of weapons were stored.

"The process is going, now it has become a routine," Jigir said. With regard to the defense budget, Jigir said that the cost of mobilization will depend on the call and decision on rotation. According to him, the maintenance of one fighter, without weapons, now costs 1. 2 million hryvnias, that is, $ 30,000. It is worth recalling that Ukraine spends more than UAH 1. 5 million a year on the maintenance of one MP. This is about UAH 600 million a year for the entire Verkhovna Rada.
