- On April 2, NABU and SAPO revealed a corruption scheme involving over UAH 733 million (approximately US$17.8 million) embezzled during food procurement for the Armed Forces.
- Charges have been filed against a former Defence Ministry official and several companies involved in the unlawful procurement process.
- Investigations showed that prices for popular products were artificially inflated while seasonal items were reduced, resulting in over US$17.8 million in excess profits.
- In response to public outrage over inflated food prices, reforms to the procurement system and measures to combat corruption in the Defence Ministry were initiated.
This system allowed suppliers to manipulate prices – artificially inflating the cost of high-demand products while lowering prices for unpopular or seasonal products (such as cherries or apricots in winter).— Quote from NABU about the corrupt system in food procurement for the Armed Forces.
