This year, the Ukrainian government is expected to spend around $1.4 billion on arms purchases in its own defence industry. This represents a immense increase compared to the pre-invasion level. However, the problem is that ministries plan a budget only for the current calendar cycle. Given the situation of the country, this is full understandable, but this makes long-term planning difficult, as pointed out by the Director-General of the U.S. Armed Forces (Ukrainian Armor) Władysław Belbas in a conversation with Reuter Agency.
