Ukraine is growing the production of weapons, military equipment and drones, but still requires considerable Western assistance in opposition to Russian aggression. This is stated in the report of the American Institute of War Study (ISW) for October 2.

"Ukrainian efforts to increase domestic military production will reduce its dependence on Western military assistance in the long run, but Ukraine still needs significant Western assistance over the next few years to protect against Russian aggression and free strategically important areas that are currently occupied by Russian troops ", - the report reads.

Analysts have specified that Ukraine continues to make efforts to increase internal production of a large number of military equipment and to preserve the advantage over Russia in the field of drones. The report notes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently stated that Russia plans to increase the production of drones by ten times to 1. 4 million in 2024, and this will be less than two million UAVs that Ukraine plans to produce in 2024.
