Ukraine will open its doors for arms exports, with the first sales offices set to be opened in Berlin and Copenhagen. This decision comes in the context of Ukraine facing a severe shortage of traditional weapons, but it can produce enough drones to meet both internal needs and external demand. Ukraine's defense industry has an estimated annual capacity of 35 billion dollars, but only half of this is funded. Exports are seen as a way to generate revenue and share Ukrainian experience in the defense sector with European partners.
However, there are concerns that these offices could become a bureaucratic bottleneck and that exports could affect internal supply. Manufacturers emphasize that export revenues will help expand production. Additionally, officials stress that the priority will always be to meet the needs on the front. Ukraine intends to collaborate with trusted partners from the West, but some experts suggest that it should also explore markets in Africa and Latin America to reduce Russia's influence.
