Spending on weapons and military equipment will amount to at least UAH 739 billion.
"The plans of domestic defence companies include increasing their existing production capacities to $30 billion. As part of the Weapons of Victory project, we will launch long-term contracts with manufacturers for 3-5 years. We will pay special attention to the long-range component and the missile programme. The President's task is to produce at least 30,000 long-range drones.
Ukrainian enterprises also plan to produce about 3,000 cruise missiles and drone missiles," Shmyhal said.
Ukraine will also develop the "Danish model", under which partners buy weapons from the domestic defence industry for the needs of the Ukrainian army. By 2025, it is expected to attract more than $1 billion.
