" If it doesn't work in a civilized way, it will be done according to the laws of wartime. This applies both to recent purchases of generators and to fresh scandals in the ministry of defence. "
Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov has also come Under Fire recently, following media reports suggesting his ministry signed a contract to procure food for the military at inflated prices. Mr Reznikov said those prices were a " technical mistake".
