Ukrainian arms manufacturers say they could be generating significant revenue for the country if allowed to export their products, even as President Volodymyr Zelensky travels abroad seeking more military aid from allies, according to a report from France 24.
The producers say their production capacity far exceeds what Ukraine's government can afford to purchase domestically, the report said. Zelensky reportedly agreed in principle to loosen export restrictions around a year ago, but the report said little has changed in practice since then.
France 24's report, filed from New York where Zelensky was appealing to allies for additional aid, did not specify which categories of weapons Ukrainian manufacturers are seeking to export or name the companies involved.
The report did not detail the specific legal or policy restrictions currently preventing Ukrainian arms exports, nor did it indicate whether the government has set a timeline for revisiting the policy.
