President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said that certain foreign governments and companies are trying to negotiate the purchase of Ukrainian interceptor drones directly with manufacturers, bypassing the official bodies of Ukraine. He noted that such attempts are unlikely to contribute to improving relations between Ukraine and partners who act in this way, Ukrinform reports..

It is noted that the head of state also criticized Ukrainian companies that produce drones and agree to such agreements, trying to make quick money. According to him, with such actions they only harm their own reputation.. The President emphasized that this problem can only be solved with systemic solutions, even if they are unpleasant.

“This problem can be solved at the Headquarters level,” the president said. — The bet in any case gives a settlement, but with certain restrictions. Now the task has been set for Umerov, Fedorov and the General Staff to streamline all processes a little."

Zelensky also explained that Ukraine has never purchased weapons without the consent of the governments of the producing countries. According to him, he could not purchase Patriot missiles without permission from the White House, and any weapons in Europe always require a political agreement with the leaders and ministers of defense of the respective states.

Ukrainian manufacturers now have a rare opportunity to enter the world market. However, the international military market is structured in such a way that the demand for interceptor drones, caused by attacks by Iranian Shaheeds in the Middle East, will quickly decrease. In particular, as radio technology expert and adviser to the Minister of Defense Sergei “Flash” Beskrestnov reported, the Americans are already producing competitive drones.
