According to the head of the fund "return alive", the Ukrainian "defense" is able to bring a significant contribution to the budget if it enters the foreign market. The defense-industrial complex of Ukraine is capable of producing three times more products than the state budget is able to finance. That is why the authorities should think about the need to open exports for a business related to militar production.

This opinion is given to Taras Chmut, the head of the Foundation, which he stated in his X (former Twitter). Thus, he responded to the data of the mine strategip on the funds allocated to the defense. Thus, according to the information available, the total budget of the country's defense is $ 40 billion. Of this amount, only 6 billion is spent on the purchase of weapons, in particular from domestic manufacturers. "Remember these numbers.

And never ask why funds buy weapons, cars, modernize SCRs and do all their work every day," Chmut emphasized. According to him, the Ukrainian defense industry is not producing all the military products that the country needs war against the Russian Federation. This, in particular, is related to the lack of funds in the state budget. If you enter the foreign market, you can get additional funds for your own needs, including the military.
