Ukraine and Eastern Europe's DIT
Why Eastern Europe's Military-Industrial Complex is and will be vital for Ukraine
Add bookmarkWhile the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russia is ongoing, the Armed Forces of Ukraine desperately need accelerated rearmament and replacement of losses in military equipment, especially artillery, tanks and armoured fighting vehicles. Before February 24, 2022, Ukraine was equipped mainly with Soviet-type vehicles and ammunition of Soviet calibres. Ukraine had problems producing its machinery and munition even before the full-scale invasion of 2022. After the massive bombardment by Russian forces, things got even worse.
