What should I do if I haven't been paid according to the state contract?

Currently, there is a massive violation of the rights of entrepreneurs in terms of non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment by customers of obligations to pay for the supply of goods/ work performed under state and municipal contracts.

The issue of non–payment of government contracts is a sore point for entrepreneurs.
