Ukraine has established five joint defense enterprises with Western arms manufacturers aimed at bolstering the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, announced this at his press conference.
“We are working very fruitfully with the world’s leading arms manufacturers. We can already talk about 5 signed contracts and the creation of 5 joint ventures in Ukraine in cooperation with Western arms manufacturers,” Shmyhal said.
The Prime Minister noted that this work is ongoing and that there should be dozens of such enterprises this year.
According to him, Ukraine sets up some defense companies with partners privately.

“We do not disclose where they are created to ensure their safety,” the Prime Minister added.
The Prime Minister emphasized that, in fact, many leading arms manufacturers are considering the possibility of being present in Ukraine.
They want to sign contracts with Ukraine, create joint ventures, produce weapons, carry out repair work, etc.
“This will significantly strengthen our security,” the Prime Minister emphasized.

Ukraine will also open a joint plant with Rheinmetall to produce artillery ammunition. This will be a joint venture between Rheinmetall and a Ukrainian company that is a partner in this project.

What if RuSSia deploys nukes against Ukraine?
What if a meteor hits muscovy?
Either that or a nuke.
I’m game for both.
Ukraine has to win this war. The alternative is just unthinkable.
Ukraine will need an independent nuclear deterrent. That will cost at least $50 billion and $20 billion/year going forward. It should be funded by reallocated putinaZi money.
RuSSia will not nuke Kyiv or Odesa, but all other cities are in danger. I don’t want to demotivate you and all our supporters, but the threat is getting real, unfortunately.
I don’t believe putler would nuke anywhere. moscow would disappear in a flash, along with St.Petersburg. With those two cities gone, there is no russia.
Ukraine is not in Nato, and i don’t believe Biden would respond as should. He would tell everybody to get the fuck out of *** instantly. 🤒
Biden doesn’t control rules in France or the UK. The US will be out of harms way. Not so Europe.
Biden doesn’t even control the United States it seems. He’s the biggest fuck up ever ruling the world! 😡
The threat is real. But it’s an imponderable. We can’t know for sure whether, as is claimed, the Biden administration warned of a massive conventional attack on the orcs if nukes are deployed. Ukraine cannot afford to stop fighting for any reason. They either suffer death by a thousand cuts due to the magaputler faction and the failure of the European allies to step up, or they just keep going as best they can until the proper levels of support arrive.
That’s not going to happen, Mike.
Can i refer to your statement in the future, and would you still invite me for a beer if it happened to heal our wounds?
Of course, my friend. You got my word.
Cheers! 🍻
Budmo! 🍺🍺
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ukrainians are pursuing a rearmament with nukes. Nukes seem to be the best guarantor for peace.
