Ukrainian armed forces are provided with food in full, and there is no military base suffering food irregularity, Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov has said.

"I don’t know any military base where there are problems with food. If we receive such a signal, we will dismiss, first of all, the commanding officer and then the official from the Defense Ministry who allowed the situation," Azarov said at a briefing on Friday.

The premier stressed that all problems between the Defense Ministry and the suppliers of food for military men under agreements signed in the previous years would be resolved soon.

"There could be such problems with claims to the quality of execution. These problems and complaints should be settled and removed, and our military men should not have problems with food. The Defense Ministry has all needed funds, all necessary decisions have been made," Azarov said.
