Most audience questions focused on the opening up of Ukrainian defence exports. Ganna Gvozdiar noted that the authorities are closer than ever to resolving this issue \u2014 though securing the front remains the top priority. She also outlined other government initiatives aimed at stimulating growth in the sector. <em>Defender<\/em> summarises the key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defence exports<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Churkin and Gvozdiar stressed that, formally, the export of Ukrainian defence products remains permitted, but still requires licensing. The system, they said, must be simplified \u2014 although current restrictions are driven by concerns over technology leaks, particularly the risk of strategic solutions falling into enemy hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another challenge to scaling up exports is the pressing demand from the front line. Export decisions are made in consultation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in some cases, the military blocks foreign sales of systems deemed critical to ongoing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, the government views expanding arms and defence tech exports as a key driver of economic growth. According to Gvozdiar, the Ministry of Strategic Industries is in ongoing dialogue with the military to strike a balance between domestic supply and foreign sales. Any new export policy must reflect the realities of wartime and the urgent needs of Ukraine\u2019s defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry also emphasises that export development is not just an economic priority, but a strategic one. Over the past three years, defence production has increased 35-fold. Ukraine can now offer not only hardware for export, but also services and cutting-edge technologies \u2014 many of them jointly developed by state and private manufacturers and tested in real combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dsc6214-1.webp\" alt=\"Ganna Gvozdiar during the panel discussion\" class=\"wp-image-3544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dsc6214-1.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dsc6214-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dsc6214-1-768x511.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ganna Gvozdiar during the panel discussion. Photo by the Invest in Bravery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gvozdiar added that while security considerations limit public communication on the issue, work is actively under way. Asked whether the market could see major export progress \u201cwithin a month\u201d, she replied that it could happen \u201cboth in a month and tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ukraine is also developing a range of export support tools to promote its defence sector abroad. These include comprehensive product catalogues, tailored presentations for international partners, and participation in major global defence exhibitions. The aim is to demonstrate Ukraine\u2019s capabilities not only as a recipient of international aid, but as an active contributor to global security. By showcasing innovative solutions tested in real combat, Ukraine seeks to strengthen its position as a credible and competitive supplier of defence technologies and services on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Currency controls and investment protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gvozdiar was also asked whether the government plans to relax currency controls, which currently deter foreign investment in Ukrainian defence tech. She confirmed that a new draft law is in the works, intended to both ease access for foreign capital and guarantee the safe return of investments. According to her, the draft legislation is \u201calready on the minister\u2019s desk\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/05\/invest-in-bravery-best-startups\/\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong>\u201cDementor shield\u201d, strike drone and \u201cradio glue\u201d for unmanned systems: winning pitches from Invest in Bravery<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, it emerged that President Volodymyr Zelensky had approved a permit for arms exports. An official decision on resuming exports is expected in May, <a href=\"https:\/\/forbes.ua\/innovations\/e-pogodzhennya-vid-prezidenta-profilni-ministerstva-rozglyadayut-kilka-variantiv-eksportu-oboronki-forbes-ukraine-diznavsya-yak-tse-mozhe-pratsyuvati-06052025-29464\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Forbes<\/a> reports, citing unnamed sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the publication, Ukraine is evaluating several models for regulated arms exports. One approach would involve individual project approval \u2014 similar to the current system, where applications are processed on a case-by-case basis, often with negative outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another proposal would allow manufacturers to export up to half the volume of Ukrainian contracts, with a share of profits allocated to defence procurement. A third scenario would create a special fund supported by additional export duties, potentially amounting to 20%. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bill to ease currency controls
