Ukraine has signed defense agreements with the EU and NATO: how this will change the army

The Ministry of Defense is actively working on integration into the Euro-Atlantic defense procurement system. One of the main priorities is to ensure the quality of defense products, which will contribute to reducing defects and increasing partner trust.

To support this direction, a special unit has been established - the State Quality Assurance Department, which has successfully signed international agreements with various countries and oversees international contracts with defense product suppliers.

• Agreements have been signed with Turkey, France, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
• 18 international contracts are being supported.
• A resolution on the procedure for guaranteeing the quality of goods, works, and services for defense purposes has been adopted.
• A network of state quality assurance departments has been created throughout Ukraine.
• Audits of key defense industry enterprises have been conducted.

'We will continue to strengthen the state quality assurance system to harmonize it with the relevant quality systems in the European Union countries and NATO member states and partner countries,' emphasized Colonel Yevhen Kraskin, head of the department.

According to information from the Ministry of Defense, the implementation of these measures is aimed at improving the quality of defense products and ensuring cooperation with international partners in the field of defense procurement.
