KIEV, July 13 – Ukroboronprom state concern is working on a cooperation program to create a new ammunition production facility in Ukraine jointly with the defense companies of NATO member states, Ukroboronprom Deputy head Denys Hurak told Interfax-Ukraine.

He confirmed the plans presented in media reports after the June meeting of the Ukraine-NATO commission in Brussels that the sides will cooperate in the new weapon production project that would replace weapons production facilities lost due to Russian aggression – Luhansk Ammunition Plant and Donetsk Chemical Products Plant.

"As a part of the task set by the Ukrainian authorities to compensate the lost defense production facilities we're holding talks with some European and U.S. defense companies on the issue," he said.
