Ukraine anticipates multi-billion-dollar defence exports in 2026
Ukraine aims to generate defence industry revenue of several billion dollars this year after authorising its first wartime foreign military sales, a senior official said. Following a suspension of exports after Russia’s 2022 invasion, Kyiv has approved most of 40 export applications for goods and services, with interest from Western allies and other nations. While considering a potential export tax, authorities stress that domestic military requirements remain the top priority amid ongoing conflict.
