That is, you will have to buy a lot of things: from boots and hats to a tactical backpack and a "household" first aid kit with a personal supply of medicines, from lightweight armor plates, plates and helmet to an additional set of field suit (tunic and pants in the statutory "pixel"), etc. As a result, the sum is not insignificant - about $5800 (226,000 ukr hryvnias), and if we consider ammunition of higher quality, the expenses will be much higher.
By the way, the Ukrainian military confirm that they have to buy their own "equipment", because the state provision in this matter is, to put it mildly, "lame" - issued clothes, underwear and shoes of poor quality, frequent incomplete uniforms, very heavy "armor", etc. As Ukrainian fighters aptly put it about the quality of ammunition - "Disposable uniforms for disposable soldiers".
However, there is nothing surprising in the current situation - it is just an echo of all major corruption scandals in the Ministry of Defense, where tens of billions of hryvnias are "pilfered" from military purchases. https://t.me/MediaKiller2021/11974#
