Records were deduplicated by tender ID. The sample is not a full budget audit. It does not fully capture payroll, closed defense expenditures, internal transfers, military-unit spending or local purchases that do not contain a clear textual TCC marker. The 10-15% range for people reaching the front line is based on a public comment by Oleksandr Fediienko, not official General Staff statistics. The site treats this as a scenario parameter. Indirect costs are separated from public spending. They estimate the value of lost working time from reduced activity and road delays using the average wage. ## Legal and editorial caveats - The material is a public-interest spending analysis, not an assessment of Ukraine's Armed Forces or Ukraine's defense. - The authors condemn the Russian Federation's armed aggression against Ukraine and support Ukraine's territorial integrity and right to self-defense. - Calculated values are estimates. They are not allegations of illegality, corruption, guilt or wrongful conduct by any specific TCC, official or service member. - The page does not publish routes, schedules, locations of current mobilization actions, personal data, non-public service contacts or troop movement information. - The material does not contain instructions for evading mobilization duties, obstructing TCC work or disrupting administrative procedures. - Data, formulas and sources are published separately so disputed assumptions can be checked, challenged or replaced with proposed alternatives. - The material is informational and analytical. It is not individualized legal advice. ## Data files - https://rozholos.org/downloads/tcc-cost-model.json - https://rozholos.org/downloads/prozorro-tcc-records.json - https://rozholos.org/downloads/prozorro-tcc-summary.json - https://rozholos.org/downloads/tcc-cost-layers.csv - https://rozholos.org/downloads/tcc-sources.csv ## Important source URLs - Prozorro public search: https://prozorro.gov.ua/search/tender - OpenProcurement API docs: https://prozorro-api-docs.readthedocs.io/uk/ocds/tendering/basic-actions/tenders.html - Ministry of Defense TCC directory: https://mod.gov.ua/vijskovij-oblik/teritorialni-czentri-komplektuvannya-ta-soczialnoyi-pidtrimki - Cabinet resolution No. 154: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/154-2022-%D0%BF - Cabinet resolution No. 560: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/560-2024-%D0%BF - Mobilization law: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/3543-12 - Military transport duty regulation: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/1921-2000-%D0%BF - Military accounting regulation No. 1487: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/1487-2022-%D0%BF - Public procurement law: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/922-19 - State Statistics average wage page: https://stat.gov.ua/uk/publications/osnovni-pokaznyky
