Officials and defense companies from the United Kingdom have signed an agreement with Ukraine to promote the country’s domestic defense industry.

The agreement was signed in Kyiv, Ukraine in the hopes of granting beleaguered and outnumbered Ukrainian soldiers increased material support.

According to Defense Executive Andy Start, the new arrangement will not only support Ukraine’s war effort. However, it will also help to make Ukraine less reliant on defense production abroad.

“We now recognize we need to step up to partnering with the Ukrainian defense industry to position Ukrainian defense industry to be better able to respond at speed and to support the Ukrainian economy,” Start said.
