In the near future, Ukraine and the German concern Rheinmetall plan to launch the production of armoured vehicles on Ukrainian territory. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a Government meeting on 5 December.
"This is a flagship project to unite the forces of Ukraine and European arms manufacturers to achieve a just peace and ensure our common security.
