European funding and the role of the director
European funding and the role of the director

In connection with the scandal regarding the replacement of Marina Bezrukova with Arsen Jumadilov, various myths have arisen. One of them concerns the threat of the 'Danish' model of funding. However, this claim appears to be banal blackmail and an attempt to tie certain individuals to the successes of European and Ukrainian diplomacy. Additionally, we emphasize that the majority of funds Denmark currently directs to the Department of Military-Technical Policy of the Ministry of Defense, not the Defense Procurement Agency. This was reported by political expert Vitaliy Kulyk in an article published in the publication 'Glavcom' titled 'The Struggle for the Agency for Defense Procurement and the Budget of 300 Billion: Myths and Refutations.'

Another myth about the Agency for Defense Procurement

There is another myth that claims the Agency for Defense Procurement is the last bastion of motivation and high competence.

In just a few weeks, the Agency has found itself in two scandals related to the payment of nearly 400 million euros for the purchase of outdated anti-tank mines at the price of new ones and a contract for Turkish night vision devices of poor 'hunting' quality at a higher price than in military stores. Journalists discovered that both contracts were concluded on December 31, which is certainly not a coincidence. Is there any sense in explaining anything further? - the expert asks.
