Partner countries under the Drone Deal framework, with which Ukraine has intergovernmental agreements, will be able to purchase Ukrainian weapons and technologies and work directly with Ukrainian manufacturers.
According to Ukrinform, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov explained the new arms export mechanism in a post on Facebook.
"The government has approved the first transparent mechanism for exporting Ukrainian weapons. This is a task set by the President of Ukraine to give Ukrainian manufacturers clear rules for working with international partners, scale up production, attract investment, and at the same time ensure priority supply for Ukraine's Defense Forces. For the first time, we have created a clear procedure establishing unified rules for the state, manufacturers, and partners," the minister said.
He noted that the new mechanism introduces a transparent process for reviewing export applications submitted by manufacturers. Applications will be processed within a fixed timeframe of up to 30 days.
The mechanism applies to the transfer of weapons and defense technologies valued at over UAH 15 million.
