Overestimated cost of products for army is not true – head of committee

The inflated cost of food products purchased for the Armed Forces, as reported in the media, does not correspond to reality, as evidenced by the contract of the Defense Ministry, with a copy of which the members of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence have familiarized themselves, said its head Aleksandr Zavitnevych (Sluka Naroda faction).
“We have all seen the contract and the figure that was specified (in the media – IFU) does not correspond to reality. Therefore, to say that we buy chicken eggs two or three times more expensive than in the market is wrong. The contract has a completely different figure,” Zavitnevich said on the air of the national telethon on Monday.
He specified that all members of the committee at Monday’s meeting saw a copy of this contract.
According to Zavitnevich, it will be possible to draw any conclusions after an appropriate expertise and investigation by law enforcement agencies. He also believes that there is no need to rush with personnel changes in connection with the high-profile situation.
“Now to talk about personnel changes … I would not make such statements. When the NABU and other law enforcement agencies arrive at their conclusions and when the cases are sent to court, then we will be able to talk about some personnel decisions,” the head of the committee said.
He recalled that even before the publication in the media about possible abuses in the procurement of products for the AFU interested the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and other law enforcement agencies.
As reported earlier, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov denied information about the purchase of food for the Armed Forces at inflated prices.
Earlier, the ZN.UA publication asserted that under the agreement of the Defense Ministry on the services of catering in 2023 for military units stationed in Poltava, Sumy, Kiev, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv and Cherkasy regions, in a deal worth 13.16 billion UAH overpriced procurement by 2-3 times.
