We are working on it. In accordance with the tasks set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief for 2024, we are taking all measures, as the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in coordination with the Ministry of Strategic Industries, to build up our defense industrial complex and multiply the production of missiles, ammunition, weapons, and military equipment, Gavrylyuk noted.

The Ministry of Strategic Industries has developed a procedure for supplying this weaponry and equipment to strengthen the capabilities of our army.
