Ukraine's new government has approved plans to expand domestic arms production to meet half the country’s weapons needs within six months as it tries to push back Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday.
"We are transforming the management of the defence sector and weapons production so that within six months, the share of Ukrainian-made weapons available to our warriors will noticeably increase," Zelenskyy said in a speech to parliament in Kyiv.
