Ukraine Expands Defense Exports with Offices in Berlin and Copenhagen

Ukraine has announced plans to establish arms export and joint weapons production offices in Berlin and Copenhagen by the end of this year. The move is designed to strengthen its defense industry and deepen cooperation with European partners.

The offices will serve as hubs for co-production and export of select weapons systems, including naval drones and artillery units. These exports are intended to generate revenue for the domestic production of critical defense items that Ukraine currently lacks the resources to manufacture.

The decision comes as Ukraine continues to bolster its defense capabilities in the face of ongoing conflict. Since 2022, the country has rapidly expanded its domestic arms industry, particularly in the field of drone technology, with hundreds of local companies contributing to production. The new offices will not only facilitate exports but also encourage joint manufacturing projects with European defense firms, helping Ukraine scale up its industrial base.

Plans are already underway for the mass production of domestically designed missiles, including the Flamingo and Ruta models, by the end of the year. According to defense industry officials, over 90% of domestic manufacturers support the export initiative, viewing it as a crucial step toward sustaining long-term production and financing innovation.

By opening these offices in Germany and Denmark, Ukraine is signaling its intent to become not only a consumer of Western arms but also a contributor to Europe’s defense ecosystem. The initiative reflects a broader strategy of integrating its defense sector with that of its allies, ensuring both immediate wartime needs and future industrial growth.

In short, Ukraine’s new arms export offices mark a strategic shift toward self-reliance, industrial cooperation, and financial sustainability in its defense sector.
