Zelenskiy says Ukraine to present strategy for managed arms exports in two weeks

Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said a programme of exports would enable Ukraine to boost production of and provide financing for the drones it needed for the front line in the more than three-and-a-half-year war with Russia. He said a military staff meeting devoted largely to weapons production discussed targets for the military's needs as well as "adequate financing for domestic weapons production and joint production with partners". Within two weeks, he said, "the concept of three new export platforms will be presented - the first will be exports and mutual action with the United States, the second will be our European partners, and the third, other world partners with an interest in Ukrainian arms."
