Ukrainian Arms Manufacturers Urge MoD for Stable Defense Procurement Amid Challenges
The Ukrainian Council of Arms Manufacturers is advocating for consistent defense contracts to preserve production capabilities. They highlight that only 25% of production capacity is contracted, risking supply disruptions and loss of talent in the defense industry.

The Ukrainian Council of Arms Manufacturers has requested the Ministry of Defense to ensure uninterrupted contracting with domestic manufacturers. Currently, only 25% of production capabilities are under contract, posing risks to the supply of weapons for the Defense Forces.
The council emphasizes the importance of maintaining continuous orders to avoid gaps and ensure timely production, especially given the lengthy weapon production cycles. Additionally, they call for predictable funding and clear order forecasts to support planning and technology development. Recent changes within the Defense Procurement Agency, including potential leadership transitions, may further complicate these issues, necessitating a stable contracting environment to support Ukraine's defense needs.
