Ukraine's Defence City Initiative Faces Challenges in Attracting Manufacturers
Defence City in Ukraine, aimed at bolstering the defense-industrial complex, has only one resident company after two months. Expert Ihor Harbaruk cites the need for systemic state support and legislative reforms. He emphasizes the importance of quality control in defense production and suggests that criteria for residency are not unrealistic but require proper documentation. The initiative aims to create favorable conditions for defense production, including tax exemptions and simplified customs procedures, while stressing the need for accountability in criminal proceedings against potential residents.

Defence City has been operational in Ukraine for two months, yet only one company has achieved resident status. Expert Ihor Harbaruk attributes this to a lack of systematic state support and the need for legislative refinement.
He argues that effective collaboration between the state and arms manufacturers is crucial for the initiative's success. The program offers incentives such as tax exemptions and simplified customs procedures to boost defense production.
Residency requires a minimum of 75% qualified income and no significant legal issues. Harbaruk also calls for improved quality control and accountability for unsubstantiated criminal cases affecting potential residents.
