The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a resolution that sets a profit margin of up to 25% of the cost of ammunition for domestic producers. This should allow manufacturers to expand and modernize their production lines. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a government meeting, UNN reports .
Over the past two years, we have significantly increased the production of our own weapons. Among the most successful cases is the revolution in the production of various types of drones. One of the success factors was the involvement of private manufacturers. We set a profit margin of 25% for them, and as a result, our drone production increased 100 times in a year. Now we are scaling up this successful case with drones to produce ammunition. We are approving a resolution that sets a profit margin of up to 25% of their cost for domestic ammunition manufacturers,
He added that this should allow manufacturers to expand and modernize their lines.
Addendum
According to Taras Melnychuk, the government's representative in the Verkhovna Rada, on Telegram, the relevant changes were made to the Procedure for the implementation of a pilot project on the production, purchase and supply of ammunition.
