Why this is interesting:
In recent weeks, society has been shaken more than once by the news of high-profile purchases, which have been made public via the Prozorro system: from drums and flagpoles to business class cars and the construction of stadiums. In some cases, thanks to the publicity, it was possible to cancel these purchases. But all these cases reveal a broader and a more comprehensive question: how to make sure that during the full-scale war, funds are spent as efficiently as possible and on the right things? And who should be responsible for this?
