Also, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal reported that the government "allowed drone and EW manufacturers to include loan interest in the cost of production." "At the same time, a reasonable limit has been set. Loan costs are no more than 10% of the production cost," wrote the head of the Ministry of Defense.
