Ukraine is set to begin exporting its military technologies to partner countries in Europe and beyond. This includes establishing production of drones, missiles, and potentially artillery systems abroad.
This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting with journalists, as reported by Liga.net.
According to him, the export will cover technologies related to drones, artillery, and missiles. The President noted that agreements have already been made regarding access to Ukrainian technologies and the production of weapons in other nations.
"We have launched the Build with Ukraine program, and this summer we will sign the relevant agreements to start exporting our technologies abroad by opening production lines in European countries and possibly elsewhere – in those countries that assist us and fund the production of drones and begin financing missile production in Ukraine," the President stated.
Zelensky emphasized that a priority is to prevent the leakage of technologies to the aggressor country, so exports to countries sympathetic to Russia are impossible.
The President mentioned that positive signals regarding the export of technologies and weapon production are coming from Denmark, Norway, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Lithuania.
By 2025, Ukraine is expected to reach record levels of funding for its defense industry. "This year we have found 43 billion dollars for the defense industry," Zelensky concluded.
