In the East, as well as around the world, armies must stay on the cutting edge of modern technology, particularly the use of drones and electronic warfare tools. The Ukrainian army is not standing still and is actively working to equip its troops with modern means. In particular, measures are being taken to increase transparency and integrity in procurement for the Armed Forces.
However, there are risks of corruption in this area, as shown by the research of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption. Therefore, it is important to carefully study this problem and take necessary measures to prevent it in the Ukrainian army.
“We have key findings from the research that highlight typical corruption risks, problems in pricing and procurement planning for the military. We provide recommendations to prevent abuses in this area,” - Marta Ivashkiv, National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.
In the context of modern wars and threats to national security, all steps taken by Ukraine to strengthen military capabilities and ensure the army are extremely important.
