According to the president, a full-fledged production line for manufacturing Ukrainian drones will be operational in Germany by mid-February 2026. In addition, production lines based on Ukrainian technologies are already functioning in the United Kingdom, producing drones. All these projects are based on domestic developments, strengthening Ukraine’s position in the global arms market.
Development of the Technology Sector and Investments
Zelensky also reported that currently around 450 companies in Ukraine are engaged in drone manufacturing, making this sector the largest in the country in terms of the number of enterprises. The president emphasized:
“We are very technological. As of today, we have 450 companies producing drones, of which 40-50 are currently top-tier. Everyone wants to invest, so 2026 will be the year of investments in our technologies, primarily in drones,” the president stressed.
He noted that during the large-scale invasion, the production of unmanned aerial vehicles became a leading sector of the economy, significantly attracting foreign investments and contributing to the development of the country’s innovative potential.
