Ukraine Introduces State Agency to Combat Procurement Corruption

Ukraine's Defense Ministry has established the State Logistics Operator (DOT) to reform military procurement and combat corruption, crucial for its NATO ambitions. DOT has successfully fulfilled 95% of supply requests while saving 25% in costs and is set to begin drone procurement. Meanwhile, European foreign ministers reaffirmed their commitment to support Ukraine with military and financial aid, emphasizing the need for Ukraine to win against Russian aggression. In a recent military update, Ukraine's forces destroyed a significant number of Russian missiles and drones during a night attack, while also successfully striking targets in Russia. As Ukraine enhances its strike capabilities with new missile systems and drones, international support remains vital for its ongoing defense efforts. The challenges of political hesitance from NATO members and the necessity for further anti-corruption measures continue to shape Ukraine's path towards alliance membership.
