Ukraine's Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin announced this.

"This is a full-fledged commercial agreement on licensed production in Ukraine. With a licence, the Ukrainian partner will be able to quickly prepare the site and start production," he explained.

According to the minister, the second contract concerns the opening of a Caesar gun maintenance unit in Ukraine. Some spare parts will be manufactured in Ukraine using 3D printing of metal parts.

In addition, Kamyshin says that KNDS has signed a letter of intent to establish a subsidiary of the group in Ukraine.

"We sincerely welcome this decision. I am convinced that there is no better place for the world's arms manufacturers to develop than Ukraine," the minister said.

Tuuli Duneton, Vice Chancellor for Defence Policy at the Estonian Ministry of Defence, said that the reserve of weapons that could be sent to Ukraine has almost been exhausted.
