eBaly will continue to be funded through the end of the year: Ministry of Defense explained delays in payments to manufacturers
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the eBaly program remains an active mechanism for supplying combat units, and funding is provided through the end of the year. Some delays in settlements with manufacturers are related to procedures to refinance the program using EU loan funds.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense emphasized that all due payments to manufacturers for equipment already delivered will be made.
At the same time, the ministry explained that certain technical delays are related, in particular, to plans to refinance the program using European Union loan funds. This requires undergoing additional procedures. Planned changes to the "points system" are also foreseen.
The Ministry of Defense noted that it is working constructively with the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence regarding the further implementation of the program.
The ministry stressed that eBaly has proven its effectiveness and has become one of the tools for operational provision of combat units. The program allows servicemembers to independently choose needed drones, electronic warfare systems, ground robotic complexes and other equipment and receive it directly from manufacturers.
After the program was integrated with Brave1 Market, the military ordered more than 750 thousand units of equipment and devices for a total amount exceeding 51,9 billion UAH.
The volume of equipment already delivered amounts to almost 40 billion UAH. More than 400 units have used the program, and the average delivery time of goods from stock is 7–10 days.
The Ministry of Defense emphasized that stable funding of eBaly and timely payment for delivered equipment is one of the ministry’s priorities, as they directly affect the provision of combat units and the resilience of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex.
