Foreign defense suppliers owe Ukraine 472,6 billion UAH, — Ministry of Finance.
Of that, 75,7 billion UAH are overdue obligations. These are funds the Ministry of Defense has already paid to suppliers, but did not receive the corresponding goods or services on time or did not receive them at all.
Ukraine is trying to recover this money through the courts, but in a number of cases the statute of limitations is nearing expiration, which could close the path to their recovery.
To continue the legal proceedings the state needs about 1 million UAH for legal services. Because these funds are lacking, Ukraine could lose more than 18 billion UAH — that is 18 thousand times more than what is needed for lawyers.
