Ukraine has already received initial proposals from partners to export its weapons, said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
"We also have our first proposals from partners regarding the export of Ukrainian weapons – modern ones; this will be a controlled export of our weapons, including naval drones," Zelenskyy said.
He stressed that the security of maritime routes is an essential part of overall security and depends on multiple nations. Ukraine is offering partners the technologies that have helped the country in the Black Sea.
We are now preparing for a very intense week – a week of diplomacy. We can accomplish a lot if our partners hear us and support proposals that truly bring the end of the war closer.

"Ukraine is offering all its reliable partners our technologies that have already helped us in the Black Sea. We look forward to robust contracts," Zelenskyy added.
Weapons production in Ukraine
Earlier, Zelenskyy announced the export of certain types of Ukrainian weapons, saying it would help cover budget deficits and boost drone production for the front lines.
He also said Ukraine has reached a new level of weapons production since the start of the full-scale war. Nearly 60% of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' supplies now come from domestic production.
Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal reported that Ukraine's weapons production has increased 35-fold since the beginning of the full-scale war and said the country plans to further expand output.
