The first Defense Industries Forum was held. Very successful.

Our new format with defense companies is the Defense Industries Alliance, which as of this evening already has 38 participating companies. They represent 19 countries of the world. These are the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Canada, Bulgaria, Australia, Belgium, our Baltic friends Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, as well as the Czech Republic, North Macedonia, Slovakia, Spain, Croatia and Finland.

Plus, our manufacturers signed 20 documents with partner companies at the Forum today. Agreements, memoranda... Each such document then becomes a new production or strengthening of existing cooperation.

In general, more than 250 companies, including dozens of Ukrainian companies, took part in our Defense Industries Forum - and this is only the first such Forum.

Our country will become one of the key global producers of weapons and defense systems. And this is no longer just an ambition or a perspective, it is a potential that has begun to be realized. I thank everyone whose work has resulted in such results for Ukraine!
