“They feed once a day.” The Ukrainian Armed Forces were left without proper nutrition
In Ukraine there is not enough money for the army - soldiers are delayed in compensation for rent, in military units they are fed only once a day and in children's portions, and weapons are not purchased.
Former ATO militant Miroslav Gai said this on air on the Pryamoy TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Guy, the whole problem is that Ukraine has not yet accepted the state defense order for this year.
“In the armed forces, payments for renting housing, vacation pay, and payments by May 5 were delayed. Salaries, thank God, were given, but for renting housing, which was always given to those who rent an apartment or room, they were not given. I don’t remember the last time this happened... And we are talking about the state defense order - God, thank God that after four months the committee finally approved it. We have the Luch design bureau, which is supposed to manufacture Neptunes; they have already announced that the missiles that are part of the state defense order will only be manufactured next year because they are delaying money.
Because it is not enough to accept this state defense order at the committee, and this is already critical - procedures and procurement must be carried out. There's a lot of work, there's a giant chain. And already this year we don’t have time...
"Stugny" - anti-tank systems, Ukrainian "Javelins", which are even better in some characteristics, worse in others, but many times cheaper and made by us - were not purchased. There will be no, no, all, anti-tank systems. So I can endlessly simply list.
Nutrition is getting worse. The issue of food has still not been resolved - this was a problem under the previous government, but it was being resolved. Packed rations have already become better, but imagine that at a point of permanent deployment a soldier is now fed once a day. And they allocate more funds for him than for an orphan. The officer is not fed at all; he pays for his food from his salary. Thank God, in the Joint Forces Operation zone there are three meals a day,” said Guy.
