Ukraine to Launch State-Controlled Arms Exports as It Expands Defense Production

Kyiv will limit sales to non‑scarce items for partners under wartime oversight.

Overview

  • President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is already working with four countries to establish export platforms for domestically made weapons.
  • Sales will be confined to partner states in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the United States.
  • Export proceeds will be used to purchase scarce capabilities, including drones, interceptors and long‑range systems.
  • All arms exports will remain under state regulation for the duration of the war, restricting companies from freely marketing their products.
  • Zelensky reported more than 40 meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, called his meeting with President Donald Trump very productive, and noted positive signals on using frozen Russian assets, with decisions not yet finalized.
