From November 2025 Ukraine plans to begin exporting domestically produced weapons abroad.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this after a meeting with government officials.
“The programme for controlled export of our weapons must be launched next month,” he said.
In addition, by the end of 2025 Ukraine aims to reach a level where more than 50% of the weapons used to defend the country are domestically produced.
“The Minister of Defense must, by the end of the year, ensure full fulfilment of tasks for the production and supply of drones — FPV drones, interceptor drones, and drones for deep strikes,” the president emphasized.
- In September the president announced a “controlled export” of Ukrainian weapons to the United States, European partners and other countries that assist Kyiv.
- On October 6 Zelenskyy said it was time to start exporting Ukrainian weapons — of which there is enough — to finance production of those that are scarce
