Here's What We Know

The new facility was opened as part of a partnership between the Ukrainian concern and the German defence giant. For now, the main task of these facilities will be to repair military equipment developed by Rheinmetall.

The workshop will speed up the restoration of equipment and return it to the battlefield. Of course, later on, Ukraine will be able to produce weapons on its own. It is worth noting that the company employs Ukrainian specialists with the help of German representatives.

"The opening of the first joint service centre with Rheinmetall in Ukraine is extremely important for strengthening our defence capabilities. It will allow us to provide fast repair and maintenance of German equipment directly on the territory of Ukraine, which will significantly increase the efficiency of our Armed Forces," said Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Dmytro Klimenkov.
