Ukrainian Prime Minister:

We currently produce about a third of the weapons we need, and our goal is to produce at least 50%.

Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to Zelensky, confirms that the US has stopped military aid to Ukraine:

First, we need to assess which programs will actually stop, considering many were already nearing completion. Some programs were approved by Congress, which involves a specific legal process.

Second, we must evaluate options for procurement or replacement from European partners, especially since substitution programs are already in motion.

Third, Ukraine has experience dealing with prolonged pauses in U.S. military aid and has adapted before.

We are conducting a thorough audit of available resources, potential production within partnerships, and commercial market options.

Discussions are ongoing with European partners, and negotiations with the U.S. remain on the table.
