of the defense industries forum in kyiv. glory to ukraine, mr. ivan, glory to the heroes, have a good day. what our president announced volodymyr zelenskyi on the creation of an alliance of defense industries, the establishment of a special defense fund, how it would all work, how this construction would work, and what do you think we can get in the short-term perspective, well, i think that first of all the declaration on the creation of this alliance defense structures, well, this was such a valuable declaration so far, i.e. to start with boring, let's call it that, a certain part of the players of the world military industry. on the basis of some common value base, and only later when there it will come down to some practical measures, well, the deployment of these physical capacities in our territories , the allocation of money for the defense sector directly from the state budget already pledged in 2024, then already the alliance of defense industries can get quite such a filling , which may be more familiar to western defense structures, well, that is, we are talking there, well, this is healthy lobbying, which would allow us to remove some questions, well, beca

this powerful international forum of defense industries was held in kyiv last week, the president announced the creation of an alliancef defense industries, and so it was said. that such a basic declaration has been developed as the basis of the alliance and that weapons and equipment manufacturers from all over the world can join it i was a little alarmed because , relatively speaking, in my opinion, business partners usually assume that ukraine needs certain types of weapons, certain plans, certain financing, and new alliances and new interactions are actually created for this, how about you? do you appreciate the event itself and this invitation to such a new alliance? in my opinion, the event itself was quite powerful, there was really a good representation of the international community, defense companies, key leaders, so not everyone was able to come to someone there with their policies, on security and so on, but there were actually many companies, and regarding, let's say, declarations. i would say that this is quite a political step, a good political step, it does not have, in my opinion, immediate... any pra

this build-up, at the end of september, president zelenskyi announced the creation of an alliance of defense industriesat's right, the forum of defense industries that you are talking about took place, and when we will see the results the work of this alliance and what exactly will it be? you know, many people are always waiting for some such symbolic bright things, where the first batch of a thousand artillery shells arrived or, or the first armored personnel carrier came off the conveyor, but it is already happening very many things are imperceptible to the eye, but which are waiting for at the front, this is when spare parts are produced that allow the repair of equipment, this is when the production of guns is increased, when new lines for the production of artillery shells are deployed, this is all happening right now, the results are there, this the system is already working, and in the interests of us, our defense and our military , but i understand that the time will come when some symbol of these results will appear, and then everyone will see what has been achieved, but in fact, i emphasize,

defense assets and profits from the sale of russian confiscated property. another important decision is the creation of an alliance of defense industries, to which 38 companies producing weapons and equipment from 19 countries of the world have joined today. the way we survived the war, the way ukraine will win, we give to everyone else. in the world, who values ​​peace, a successful strategy, and now it is being determined what the most powerful defense and industrial complexes will be, it is precisely in ukraine that this is being determined. in addition to creating an alliance, we signed 20 documents with foreign partners during the day of the forum. these are agreements and memorandums on the manufacture of drones, repair and production of armored vehicles and ammunition. and this is not the first time that the world is ready not only to help, but also to jointly produce and exchange weapons and equipment. with technologies, and this is the highest manifestation of trust in the current critical moment for the world, when the division between one's own and another's has become especially noticeable. victoria kovtson, tsn week, marathon, only news. well, n

we have started, in fact, let's talk about whether one newly created structure , the alliance of defense industriesn help us resist russian attacks this fall and winter, mr. valentin, the alliance that was announced in kyiv at the defense industries forum, and joined by by the way, more than 30 countries have already joined this alliance and many foreign and western companies have already announced that they are ready to invest, ready to build factories, develop those that are in ukraine, actually expand and scale the ukrainian military industry, actually. will it help us in facing the enemy, in particular this winter? this is a rhetorical question, the answer is obvious, of course, well, moreover, let's not forget zelensky's recent visit to spain, as a result of which we once again agreed on the supply of air defense equipment, let's not forget the negotiations with japan, well, as for the security guarantee, the day before the japanese handed over two of these mobile generators, which can provide up to 5,000 residents with electricity, you can imagine the power, and these are not the last two gen
