Countries in Europe and the Middle East want to buy Ukrainian weapons - expert.

European and Middle Eastern countries have shown interest in purchasing Ukrainian ground robotic complexes (HRC), said the head of the Ukrainian Arms Manufacturers Association, Ihor Fedirko. Among these countries are the Baltics, Northern Europe, France, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. They are closely monitoring the development of Ukraine's defense-industrial complex and are interested in the effectiveness of HRC in the context of the military conflict.

'I am confident that in the near future we will hear about specific collaborations and signing agreements. So far, it concerns the possibility of such cooperation directly on the territory of Ukraine,' Fedirko noted.

The head also expressed doubts regarding the selective approach to granting export licenses from Ukraine. He emphasized that if exports are allowed, it should apply to the entire defense-industrial complex of the country, and not just specific sectors.

International exhibitions are important for development

Fedirko noted that international exhibitions play an important role in building cooperation between Ukrainian weapons manufacturers and foreign partners. Some Ukrainian companies are already in the final stages of negotiations and are ready to announce joint projects after officially receiving permission to export products.

The interest from foreign partners in cooperation includes not only the purchase of ready-made products but also collaboration on the territory of Ukraine, which can promote the development of the country's defense sector and attract foreign investments.
