Revolutionary step. Denmark to finance Ukrainian weapons production

Behind the hype, you missed a truly unprecedentedly important news.

Recently, it was officially announced that Denmark will purchase 28.5 million euros worth of Ukrainian-made weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

It seems that the purchase amount is not significant! But this is a precedent that has been discussed a lot in the political arena. Especially against the backdrop of the EU's limited success in finding weapons and ammunition in third countries!

The industrial base of our military-industrial complex is capable of at least a 50% increase in production. Our heroes do not have enough budget money to buy more Ukrainian weapons.

If the EU countries manage to attract a mechanism for direct financing of contracts between the Ministry of Defense and other government customers and Ukrainian arms manufacturers, it will be a revolutionary solution. It will not only increase the number of weapons and ammunition at the front but will also contribute to the economic stability of our country by increasing taxes and jobs!

I hope that this precedent will be used by friendly countries and turned into a mechanism for strengthening our defense capabilities!

We at the National Association of Ukrainian Defense Industries will at least prove the need for this at every site.
