Denys Shmyhal, Ukrainian Defense Minister, emphasizes national advancements in military procurement and defense strategies. In 2025, Ukraine achieved a 76% reliance on domestically produced weapons, showcasing an intensified push towards self-sufficiency and innovation. This shift not only strengthens the national defense industry but also enhances Ukraine's military capabilities. The Armed Forces will soon regularly fund drone components, signifying increased investment in UAV technology. Shmyhal's efforts extend to improving soldier rehabilitation systems and building fortifications in frontline areas, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to defense. Collaboration with international partners, like the EU, furthers support for these initiatives, ensuring Ukraine remains resilient and prepared.

What percentage of weapons procurement in 2025 was domestic according to Shmyhal?

Denys Shmyhal stated that in 2025, 76% of the weapons procured by the Ukrainian state came from domestic manufacturers. This indicates a significant move towards enhancing national defense production capabilities, reducing reliance on foreign arms supplies, and bolstering the local defense industry.

What is the future plan for drone procurement in Ukraine's Armed Forces?

Starting in 2026, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to purchase drone components using general fund money. This change expands the financial resources available for developing UAV systems, signifying the strategic importance placed on drones in modern warfare.

How many FPV drones are expected to be delivered to Ukraine's Armed Forces by the end of 2025?

By the end of 2025, Ukraine's Armed Forces are slated to receive 3 million FPV drones. This marks a substantial increase of almost 2.5 times the amount received the previous year, indicating an aggressive expansion in aerial capabilities to bolster frontline operations.

What efforts are being made to enhance soldier rehabilitation in Ukraine?

Under Denys Shmyhal, the Ministry of Defence has prioritized modernizing the rehabilitation system for Ukrainian soldiers. This effort includes updating and improving facilities and protocols to ensure effective recovery for servicemen and women, reflecting a commitment to soldier welfare beyond active duty.

What progress has been made in constructing fortifications in frontline regions?

Denys Shmyhal reported that over 2,000 platoon strongholds have been built as part of ongoing fortification efforts across all frontline regions. This construction helps bolster defense lines and provide strategic advantages, thereby enhancing troop safety and operational efficiency in conflict zones.

What new financial mechanism has Ukraine's government approved for military contracts?

The Ukrainian government has approved a draft law introducing new motivational contracts in the Armed Forces. These contracts guarantee fixed service terms and higher pay to encourage enlistment and retention, marking a shift toward more predictable and rewarding military career structures.

How does Ukraine plan to fund its 2026 defense needs according to Denys Shmyhal?

Ukraine estimates its 2026 defense needs at $120 billion, and Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal has appealed to NATO partners to invest 0.25% of their GDP to cover half of these costs. This funding is crucial for maintaining and expanding Ukraine's defense capabilities amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
