The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has shown the cost of products that will be purchased for the army in 2023. Prices were announced on February 28.
The cost of a meal service is from 137.04 to 144.06 hryvnias. The decrease in prices was due to the shortening of the terms of the contracts.
The prices of the products purchased by the supplier take into account logistics. That is, the Ministry of Defense does not purchase products from the list, but the "food" service, which includes storage, cooking, fuel for cooking, utility costs for this, etc. All these costs, which fall directly on the shoulders of each of the suppliers without any other surcharges for logistics, etc., are included in the cost of the service.
Eggs now cost 8-9 hryvnias instead of 17 hryvnias (depending on the variety).
- At the beginning of January , a scandal broke out around the Ministry of Defense due to the purchase of food products at allegedly inflated prices several times over (in particular, eggs at 17 hryvnias per piece ). Against this background, the Ministry of Defense decided to publish information about procurement contracts on its own website, as well as compare prices with market prices.
- Due to purchases for the army , three officials of the Ministry of Defense received suspicions, and personnel renewal was carried out in the department.
