The supervisory board of Ukraine\u2019s Defense Procurement Agency (DPA) extended a 1-year contract to Maryna Bezrukova, the current director of the DPA, the agency announced on Jan. 21. <\/p>\n

The contract extensions comes after Defense Minister Rustem Umerov walked back on plans to merge the Defense Procurement Agency<\/strong><\/a> and the State Logistics Operator (DOT) into one agency, following a NATO statement said that the two agencies should be kept separate and two separate supervisory boards established “to perform their tasks and supporting their independence and anti-corruption policies.”<\/p>\n

In addition to the contract extension, the board said in a statement that it had initiated a “comprehensive audit of the Agency’s activities,” which will involved NATO’s<\/strong> <\/a>International Board of Auditors (IBAN).<\/p>\n

Bezrukova, whose contract was extended by a unanimous vote, is a former employee of Ukraine\u2019s energy company Ukrenergo<\/strong><\/a>, before being appointed<\/strong><\/a> to head the DPA.<\/p>\n

Separate boards were set up for Ukraine\u2019s lethal and non-lethal procurement agencies, complying with NATO<\/strong><\/a> standards, in the fall of 2024.<\/p>\n

The defense procurement sector was reshaped in December 2023, aiming to meet NATO<\/strong><\/a> standards. The DPA, first established in August 2022, was to focus solely on lethal aid. Meanwhile, the DOT was formed to purchase non-lethal aid such as food and clothing.<\/p>\n
