82% of weapons, equipment, and ammunition are domestically produced: 2025 procurement results
In 2025, the share of Ukrainian manufacturers in the procurement of weapons, military equipment, and ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine rose to 82%. The value of contracts with domestic companies reached nearly 430 billion hryvnia, while the share of imports fell to 18%
The Ministry of Defense placed greater emphasis in 2025 on procuring domestic products for the needs of the Armed Forces. The share of weapons, equipment, and ammunition contracted by the Defense Procurement Agency (DPA) from Ukrainian manufacturers rose from 46% to 82% compared to the previous year.
At the same time, the share of imported military goods decreased from 54% to 18% over the year, creating the conditions for the sustainable development of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex.
“The volume of procurement from domestic manufacturers reached nearly 430 billion UAH, and the share of Ukrainian manufacturers in lethal weaponry in 2025 stood at 82%. Focusing on the domestic market allows manufacturers to scale up, implement innovations more quickly, and supply the military with solutions adapted to the real needs of the front lines, while reducing dependence on external supplies,” noted Arsen Zhumadilov, Director of the Defense Procurement Agency (DPA).
In 2026, DOT plans to refine its procurement approach. When contracting suppliers, additional criteria will be taken into account, including production localization and supply diversification.
