“In 2021, member companies of Ukroboronprom increased production by 24%. Despite the increase in production for our foreign partners, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been, are and will be the key customer for the member companies of the concern,” underlined Igor Fomenko, Chief Production Officer at Ukroboronprom.

Importantly, Ukroboronprom is currently undergoing reorganization. In early December 2021, the Cabinet of Ministers approved reorganization of the state concern into a joint-stock company.

The government endorsed reorganization of 43 Ukroboronprom’s strategic member companies into fully state-owned economic entities.
