The Ukrainian government is expected to spend around $1.4 billion this year purchasing weapons in its own industry, which represents a immense increase in spending on this before the Russian invasion. Interestingly, more and more contracts are being picked up by the private sector, which importantly increases its spectrum of activities. An example of this could be mentioned by the Associated Press News portal (https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-weapons-russia-drones-90b03d92f72f878c8c2ac04b0d12f804)**a mortar grenade mill of about 20,000 per month.** The expanding capacity expansion of the arms manufacture in many opinions can be a factor, although partially compensating for the shortages in arms, despite the ongoing difficulties. We are talking not only about insufficient backing of production, shortages in staff (resulting mainly from the introduction of workers into the military), but also, as the generals and entrepreneurs point out, in further excessive bureaucracy (and most likely besides a advanced level of corruption, which Ukraine is incapable to cope with despite announcements).
