Ukraine will open 10 weapon export centers across Europe in 2026 as part of a broader push to internationalize its arms production, with Zelensky announcing Ukrainian drone production lines in Germany (and the UK already operating similar lines). The program, tied to a “controlled export” policy, aims to export surplus defense equipment to fund urgent military needs, reflecting Ukraine’s rapid expansion of its drone and defense industries.
