Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the capacity of Ukraine’s defense industry has increased by tenfold. Our production potential for drones and missiles alone will reach 35 billion next year. Already over 40 percent of the weapons in use at the front are either made in Ukraine or produced with Ukraine. And the share of our weapons will only grow. The task for manufacturers, for the Government of Ukraine, for all institutions involved is that by the end of the year no less than 50 percent of the weapons at the front must be our Ukrainian weapons, and this task must be accomplished.
We need funding to unleash our full potential and we are working with every partner who can help make this possible. It is time to start exporting our Ukrainian weapons – those types we have in surplus and can therefore export, to finance the types of weapons that are especially needed for our defense. I have already instructed the Government, the Office, and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to develop and present the key elements of such an export system. The working title of this program is “Zbroya” – our export product. Agreements are already in place to launch export-import platforms in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East. The task is to have these platforms operational by the end of the year.
I said this during the International Defense Industries Forum, which we are opening for the third time in Ukraine today.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
