Military property lost in combat is to be written off under simplified procedure - order of Ministry of Defense

Rustem Umerov, the Minister of Defense, announced this on Facebook, Ukrinform reported.

"Without unnecessary bureaucracy, it will take two weeks instead of six months. It is no longer necessary to conduct a separate investigation for each unit and get approval from senior officials," the minister explained.

According to him, it used to take up to 40 documents to write off a drone. It took from one month to six months. The adopted changes will shorten the procedure to 2-3 weeks.

Equipment worth up to 1.5 million hryvnias will be able to be written off by commanders of individual companies, battalions or brigades, the minister said.

As reported, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov visited the positions of the Defense Forces in the southeast and discussed with brigadier generals the priorities in the supply of weapons and military equipment.
