Ukraine is ramping up the production of one-way attack "kamikaze" drones to compensate for the lack of artillery shells at the front, the country's Deputy Defense Minister Gen. Ivan Havryliuk told BBC.
He also noted that Ukraine was boosting its own production of artillery rounds "for almost the entire range" of its Soviet-era weapons.

According to Havryliuk, Ukraine aims to bolster its defense industry by collaborating with Western companies to jointly manufacture ammunition within its borders, which was the focus of negotiations with US arms companies during the recent visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the US.
