Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said, that one of the key tasks of the defense-industrial complex of Ukraine is to increase the long-range of Ukrainian weapons, so that no place in the European part of Russia remains safe from strikes by Ukrainian drones and missiles.
"Among the strategic tasks is the strengthening of the long-range of Ukrainian weapons, so that there is no safe place in the European part of Russia, where the "debris" of our drones and missiles could not fly"said the prime minister.
Shmyhal noted that Ukraine currently produces "such a number of different weapons that in 2022 would seem impossible." He recalled that in 2023, the production of weapons increased threefold, and in the first 8 months of 2024, the production increased twice more: "Our goal is to build one of the most modern defense and industrial complexes. The President of Ukraine clearly formulated our strategic task: "democracy must be better armed than tyranny."
Shmyhal said that defense companies from different parts of the world are already entering the Ukrainian market, building factories, planning investments and partnerships with Ukrainian gunsmiths.
The Prime Minister noted that the government has earmarked UAH 300 billion more, or $7 billion, in the draft state budget for the purchase of weapons and military equipment next year.
