The State Logistics Operator has announced the procurement of food products for the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the second half of 2025. The expected cost is over UAH 22.5 billion. The procurement is announced for delivery to all regions, except Kyiv and Kyiv region, where an updated supply model is in place.
The new contracts provide for enhanced quality control, including mandatory laboratory testing of sweet cream butter and hard cheeses, which have become the leaders in the number of complaints from military personnel. Now, products in these categories will not be able to enter the Armed Forces without an official protocol from an accredited laboratory. This will help reduce the number of cases of counterfeit products being supplied to military units.
The new contracts also contain additional sanctions for suppliers for unapproved substitutions of goods without adjusting the request by military units.
These changes were the result of a systematic analysis of the results of the beginning of 2025, during which DOT ensured stable contract performance. As of now:
- has shipped more than 160 million kilograms of products;
- has delivered more than 103 million liters of drinking water;
- has made about 20 thousand vehicle trips;
- has processed more than 30 thousand applications from military units.
"We work every day to ensure that the supply of food to the Armed Forces is stable and clear. We always take into account the experience of previous periods, consult with the market, and develop a transparent system of procurement procedures. It is important for us that the military receive quality food without failures, and that business clearly understands the rules," emphasized Halyna Litosh, Director of the DOT Nutrition Program
