The lion's share of funds, provided for in 2017 in the state budget for the development of the army, has not yet been mastered. In particular, now the balance of unused funds of the Defense Ministry exceeds 10 billion hryvnias, which are envisaged for the purchase of weapons, communications, training of troops, fuel, warehousing property, capital repairs of infrastructure, housing, repair of arms and military equipment and another 6 billion hryvnias for the survivability of arsenals. This was reported on his Facebook page by the leader of the party "Civil position", former defense minister Anatoly Gritsenko.

"Purchase of weapons: 1708 million were allocated - 850 million were not used.. Construction of housing for contractors: allocated 1,000 million - not used 995 million. Ammunition production: 1,400 million were allocated - 1,400 million were not used. In addition, more than 900 million people were not used to train troops, repair infrastructure, provide communications, purchase housing, medicine, fuel, clothing, repair weapons and even protect arsenals. In general,. Under these funds, no contracts / contracts have been concluded, for the defense of the country these funds in 2017 have already been lost, "he wrote..

According to the politician, the army can also lose money provided for the supply of goods and services, contracts for which were concluded, but not documented.

"Conclusion.

Even if today all the Defense Ministry officials are put on their ears and transferred to the round-the-clock mode of operation, in my estimation, the army / defense will not receive / lose at least 5 billion allocated funds, for sure and more. These funds will not be lost, they will be returned to the state budget, they are used for something else. But. "- Hrytsenko summed up, noting that for such grief-management and such attitude to the soldier in the trenches in the conditions of war, the heads should have been flying for a long time, but" everyone is firmly seated in armchairs, ostensibly everything is in order ".
