Abstract
- Ukraine is cracking down on corruption in its military procurement process, with masked security officers raiding properties and detaining suspects involved in graft. Maryna Bezrukova, the head of Ukraine's Defense Procurement Agency, is leading efforts to save money and ensure untainted arms contracts. The appointment of Bezrukova follows a series of scandals, including the purchase of eggs at inflated prices, which led to the firing of the defense minister. Corruption in the defense sector is not only undermining the war effort but also hindering Ukraine's integration with the West. [Extracted from the article]
