The Ministry of Defense explained that the event's purpose was to draw attention to medical evacuation in the war zone and encourage partner countries to enter into direct contracts with Ukrainian manufacturers within the framework of the ZBROYARI: Manufacturing Freedom project.

Currently, the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Strategy and Industry are focused on the development of systems that can replace humans at the front.
