The program calls for “the harshest punishment for corruption and theft in the Armed Forces and Defense Ministry, decentralizing and de-monopolizing defense procurements, and spending on defense no less than 5% of GDP.” In a key step to opening the black box of defense spending, Aivaras Abromavičius, a reformist who was Economy Minister from 2014-2016, is expected to be named director general of UkrOboronProm, the state-controlled defense industry conglomerate.
