UT Company, created by co-owners of EVA and Varus chains Valeriy Kiptyk and Ruslan Shostak, has won a tender of the State Logistics Operator (DOT) for the supply of food to military units in one of Ukraine’s regions, the press service of Terwin Group reports.

“Ukrainian Transparent Company has committed itself to supplying food to military units in one of Ukraine’s regions by offering the best conditions at the tender held by the State Logistics Service. This is a pilot project that will last for two months and will significantly save the state budget,” the press release says.
