✦ AI Brief
Ukraine's Finance Minister Serhii Marchenko views the country's defence industry as a lasting source of economic strength. The industry is booming due to demand created in Ukraine, and the key now is to strengthen it and provide it with development capacity. Ukraine is considering allowing the export of military goods to open up its military potential to a broader market, which could also lead to civilian applications after the war.
