Financial support for the defense industry: new rules for drone manufacturers

The government has allowed Ukrainian drone and EW manufacturers to include loan interest in the cost of production. Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal noted that loan expenses should not exceed 10% of the cost.

According to him, this new financial mechanism will help manufacturers create more equipment faster and more efficiently. 'We are scaling our defense industry. We are attracting more resources. The result is millions of Ukrainian drones for the front. We are building a force that will stop the aggressor and ensure long-term peace,' emphasized Shmyhal.

It is reported that the government has allowed Ukrainian drone and EW manufacturers to include loan interest in the cost of production, but limited this expenditure item to 10%. This step is aimed at increasing the production of equipment for Ukrainian defense and ensuring long-term peace.
