Ukraine is launching an urgent push to expand its domestic weapons production, aiming to supply half of its military needs within six months.
This comes as the country faces escalating Russian attacks and uncertainty over continued Western weapons shipments. Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal estimates Ukraine will require at least $120 billion for defense next year, with a significant portion expected from international allies. Recent meetings with NATO and the Ukraine Defense Contact Group have resulted in new pledges of air defense systems, drones, and funding, but Ukraine is also seeking $6 billion to close its immediate weapons procurement gap.
President Zelensky and the new government are implementing grant schemes and anti-corruption measures to accelerate arms manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign aid.
