Ukraine is opening up exports of its domestically produced weapons, president Volodymyr Zelensky states, as a way for Kyiv to cash in on its wartime technological developments and generate badly necessaryed funds.
Zelensky declared 10 “export centres” for Ukrainian weapons would be opened in 2026 across Europe, adding that combat drones would be among the exports.
“Today, Europe’s security is built on technology and drones,” Zelensky declared on Sunday evening.”All of this will be based largely on Ukrainian technology and Ukrainian specialists,” he declared.
Zelensky declared production of Ukrainian drones would launch in Germany in February, adding to those already being built in the UK under a joint production initiative. He did not identify the companies involved.

Russian oil revenue plummets as sanctions tarreceive Putin’s cash cow
Russia’s crucial oil and gas revenues, which have sustained its war against Ukraine, have suddenly dwindled to multi-year lows as the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion approaches.
This sharp decline is the result of new punitive measures from the US and the European Union, tariff pressure from US President Donald Trump against India, and a tightening crackdown on the fleet of sanctions-dodging tankers carrying Russian oil.
The resulting revenue drop is forcing President Vladimir Putin to borrow from Russian banks and raise taxes.
While these measures are currently keeping state finances “on an even keel”, they only increase strains in a war economy now plagued by slowing growth and stubborn inflation.
