Ukraine will set up arms export offices in Berlin and Copenhagen

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine will set up arms export and joint arms production offices in Berlin, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark within this year.

Reuters reported that as the Russia-Ukraine war enters its fourth year, Ukraine, with the help of its Western partners, is vigorously developing its domestic defense industry to resist Russia's offensive.

Zelensky told reporters in Kyiv on Monday (November 3) that the weapons Ukraine can export include naval drones and artillery systems, etc.

We will jointly produce and export the weapons we can sell in order to raise more funds for the shortage of weapons within us that are underfunded.

Ukraine still relies on its Allies for weapons such as fighter jets and air defense systems, but has made progress in developing drone and missile programs.

Zelensky said that Ukraine plans to start large-scale production of its domestically produced missiles, the Flamingo and Ruta, by the end of this year. He also said that a Ukrainian delegation will visit Washington next week to further discuss a US-Ukraine drone deal. Kyiv hopes this deal will strengthen its relationship with the Trump administration.
