The leadership of the Ukroboronprom state concern has presented its reform plan for the defense enterprises of the concern to chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Council for Reforms under the President of Ukraine, Mikheil Saakashvili.
“The Concern is the last unreformed strategic enterprise in Ukraine of such a scale. The Council includes representatives of all government bodies, on which the process and speed of transformation of both the concern and the entire defense industry depend. We see in the National Council a partner who will help Ukroboronprom not only to start the reform, but to complete the transformation,” Aivaras Abromavichus, Director General of Ukroboronprom, said.
At the same time, according to Saakashvili, he will recommend the National Council to consider the transformation strategy of Ukroboronprom at the next meeting and support it.
Saakashvili also stressed that Ukroboronprom supplies ammunition to the Ukrainian army, and as a result of the reform, the military will finally be able to get high-quality domestic equipment for the war with Russia.
“Strong defense enterprises are what restrain Russian aggression, and the reform launched at Ukroboronprom is strengthening the domestic defense sector, as well as made positive impact on the entire heavy industry, which is going through hard times. Therefore, I strongly support the ideas laid down in the transformation of the concern into powerful state-owned companies on an industry-wide basis, and I believe that the National Reforms Council can accelerate the process of transformation so that the first state-owned defense companies of a new type appear in Ukraine this year,” Mikheil Saakashvili summed up.
