Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal says that the production of weapons in Ukraine has tripled in 2023, and today every second munition in the combat zone is Ukrainian-made.

"We work daily with partners to increase the supply of weapons and strengthen the development of our own military-industrial complex. In 2023, the production of weapons in Ukraine has tripled. Every second munition in the combat zone is Ukrainian. By the end of the year, we will produce 1.5 million drones," Shmyhal said at a government meeting on Tuesday.

In addition, the prime minister noted that the implementation of the domestic missile program continues, and the country is entering significant production volumes of artillery systems and armored vehicles.

"We are establishing joint production with partners, as well as attracting funds from partners to purchase Ukrainian weapons for Ukraine. Every shell sent to the front on time, every drone, every piece of artillery is an increase in the strength and power of our soldiers, saving their lives," Shmyhal stressed.
