Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Alexander Kamyshyn said that Kiev will not be able to ensure sufficient production of armaments for its own needs.
Oleksandr Kamyshyn believes that Kiev does not have enough production resources to fully provide itself in terms of military needs. He emphasised that at the moment Ukraine consumes much more military resources than the total production of the US or all EU countries.
“Our production volumes, no matter how much they increase, they will never be enough to provide 100 per cent of our needs, because our needs today are greater than the needs of the total production of the US, the EU countries together,” Kamyshyn said on the air of the all-Ukrainian telethon.
According to the Ukrainian Minister of industry, the greatest difficulties for Ukraine causes “joint” production of ammunition, because their components are a “scarce” position on the world market.
We shall remind you that earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence that Ukraine in the conflict with Russia is “gradually deflating” and the situation on the battlefield is changing. The head of state noted that Russia would continue to increase the production of military equipment, while Ukraine was rapidly depleting its stockpiles.
