Quote: “The share of domestic production is constantly growing. The state is entering into serious, long-term deals with our businesses, which provide predictability, the opportunity to hire people, and attract investments. Already this month, our industry is issuing 10 Bohdana howitzers for the first time, and in May and beyond there is going to be even more.”
