President Petro Poroshenko during a meeting on the state of implementation of the housing program for the military said that in the framework of the visit to Lviv region, he had visited the International Peacekeeping and Security Center and examined the territorial defense exercises. The President also had dinner with the military. "Everyone should note the quality and efficiency of using the new food system," Petro Poroshenko said.
"I am pleased to inform you that in four days more than 50 brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be transferred to a new food system," the Head of State said.
He urged the commanders of these brigades to organize an open day so that everyone has a chance to see how the food conditions changed. "Please, let the society come and see. These are also very bright changes that take place in the Armed Forces of Ukraine," Petro Poroshenko emphasized.
The President stressed that it was unacceptable that the food system had been destroyed since the mid-2000s by widespread corruption and irresponsibility, when the head of the unit had not been able to influence in any way either the quality or the cost price of the products. "And the soldiers were at best hungry, at worst got poisoned," he said.
"And today it was extremely pleasant to hear such a positive feedback about the new food system," Petro Poroshenko stressed.
According to the President, there was a lot of resistance in the public environment due to the lack of awareness, "and especially the resistance was organized by those who were deprived of financial flows, because they have already got used to them".
The Head of State especially emphasized that changes are taking place in all spheres of the functioning of the Armed Forces: financial security, weapons, technical and medical support.
