According to Ukrinform, this was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Defense.

“The international arbitration tribunal has approved two decisions awarding a total of USD 491,399.99 (more than UAH 19 million) in favor of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine from foreign business entities,” the report reads.
