Mindaugas Sinkevičius: I am not satisfied with the pace of defense acquisitions, 37% of the funds have been used this year

“During the short period I have been leading the Government, I have already had about three or four meetings with the head of the Public Procurement Service, with the relevant specialists of the Ministry of National Defence, the heads of the Defence Resources Agency, and I have very clearly said that such pace does not satisfy me.
