“In parallel, we are developing a comprehensive action plan to protect the domestic defence industry from future strikes”, — the Minister of Defence of Ukraine stated.

- relocating (duplicating) the capabilities of critically important enterprises;
- moving production facilities from areas where the Russian army uses glide bombs (KABs);
- constructing underground production complexes.
“We are working to ensure that the Ukrainian defence industry has safe conditions for development, and that Ukrainian soldiers are provided with everything they need”, — Denys Shmyhal added.
