The Interdepartmental Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation Policy has resumed its work, allowing Ukrainian enterprises to export controlled goods.

Ukrainian enterprises have received their first permits for arms exports. This was announced by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Rustem Umerov, who added that all decisions are under state control and with an unconditional priority for the needs of the Defense Forces, UNN reports.
The Interdepartmental Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation Policy and Export Control resumed its work and held a meeting for the first time in 8 months. Following its results, Ukrainian enterprises received their first permits for the export of controlled goods. All decisions are under state control and with an unconditional priority for the needs of the Defense Forces.
According to him, controlled arms exports are about state security and the development of our defense-industrial complex. It opens the way to new security alliances and the expansion of international partnerships.
Today, the production capabilities of the Ukrainian defense industry exceed $55 billion. In the areas of UAVs, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance, our capabilities are already greater than the volume of domestic procurement. Coordinated exports allow us to attract investments, scale production, and launch new technologies for the Ukrainian army.
Umerov also noted that the Ukrainian defense industry has proven its effectiveness in the war.
Now our task is to transform this experience into a long-term industrial force and part of common security with partners.
