40% weapons for the front Ukraine now produces locally, - Zelensky advisor (video)
He said that Ukraine had a powerful defense industry, and there were 2000 defense plants and workshops on its territory, but for one reason or another they had fallen over time, and no one concluded contracts with the country in the defense industry. At the beginning of a full -scale Russian invasion, Ukraine fought what was in warehouses and purchased Bayraktar and Javeline and used everything she received from strategic partners.
"In 2023, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky began to demand an increase in weapons of our own production. Today we use from all weapons we are fighting, 40% of our own production made locally," he said. He noted that in a few years Ukraine has moved on full dependence on the import of weapons to local production of key elements of weapons. "In 2022, we have produced only 50,000 rounds of all calibers for the whole year. 2024, as the President recently stated, we have 2.
4 million rounds of calibers from 30 mm to 155 mm NATO. Ukraine is now becoming a powerful center of defense industry. This is the key to the security of all Europe, "he said. The Ministry of Strateg industry said that most developers went into the defensive sphere from other industries during a full -scale war. Everyone was united by the only goal - to hit the Russian Federation. "When we got something, the first thought is to fly to Moscow and hit the Russians," Kamyshin said.
According to him, a whole defense complex of production of various means of damage to the enemy is now formed in Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian technologists are ready to share experiences with the EU, the US and the free world. We want to become an arsenal of the free world. We want to be a place where it is born, "the Presidential Advisor said.
