"Every decision is based on national interests, the end user, diplomatic implications, and whether it undermines our own capabilities," said Ihor Fedirko, executive director of the Ukrainian Arms Manufacturers Council.
According to him, this is precisely why the state takes a very cautious approach to sensitive markets, particularly in the Middle East.
"In the context of war and active hostilities, we understand the state’s position and prerogative to determine export policy and to identify, for example, through the signing of security agreements with allies, the countries with which the Ukrainian defense industry can build partnerships at various levels," — emphasized Anastasia Mishkina, Executive Director of the "Technological Forces of Ukraine" association.
At the same time, she noted, it is important to respond promptly and provide the industry with opportunities to quickly enter the markets of allied countries.
