Arms exports worth billions: between monopoly, corruption and the needs of the front

For almost two years now, the defense-industrial complex of Ukraine (DIC) has been "asking" for the world arms market. In principle, the export market has not been closed all this time. It's just that the State Service for Export Control (SEC) has not issued appropriate permits to enterprises. Even when production capacities are not loaded in the interests of the Defense Forces of Ukraine (DFU), or when customers simply did not purchase domestic products.

Why does Ukraine seek to enter the global arms market and what benefits will it bring? What are the proposals for regulating arms exports and what risks do they pose? Which Ukrainian officials can influence the future of arms exports and what questions do they have? All this is discussed in an article written specifically for LIGA.net .
