KYIV, Sept 28 – Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba announced that in the coming days the Defense Industries Forum will be held in Kyiv, in which more than 165 companies from around the world have confirmed their participation.

"In a few days we are holding the Defense Industries Forum in Kyiv. This is our initiative because we understand that we need to think strategically and we cannot ensure consistency of supply only through warehouses. It must be ensured by increasing production and, above all, in Ukraine. We are working together with the Minister of Strategic Industries Kamyshin and the Minister of Defense Umerov in order to maximize synergy and results in this," Kuleba said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
