Denmark has recently allocated a new aid package to Ukraine, and part of the money will be spent on weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which will be produced by Ukrainian companies. This was announced by Minister of Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshyn.

It is noted that it is about $28.5 million. The ministry clarified that this is the first and so far unprecedented decision when military products for the Defense Forces are purchased from Ukrainian manufacturers at the expense of another state.

The minister said that the capacity of the Ukrainian defense industry is about $20 billion, but Ukraine has only $6 billion to buy weapons.

"Roughly speaking, only a third of all the machine tools in the country are working because we don't have enough money to provide orders for the rest," Kamyshyn explained.
