Ukraine is suing at least two Western arms dealers for failing to make good on contracts promising military equipment, officials said.

Kyiv has increasingly turned to independent arms dealers in the West to supply its needs in defending itself from Russia’s nearly 19-month invasion.

In fact, about 11% of all those military contracts signed by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry have been with foreign suppliers — of which “only a few of them had difficulties in fulfilling their obligations in full,” a ministry spokesman told Newsweek.

Six foreign companies — including two from the US — “did not fully or partially fulfill their obligations under some of their contracts, but made a partial delivery or fully returned the funds,” the spokesman said.

Two European companies, though, “did not deliver the goods and did not return the advance payments,” the spokesman said.

The government has taken legal action against both delinquent suppliers, the rep said, without identifying the companies or the exact nature of the contracts, citing the need to protect sensitive military information.
