Inside Ukraine's Plan to Arm Itself
Zelensky has tasked a former international consultant and logistics whiz with pitching the new strategy around the world

Once an engine of the Soviet war machine, Ukraine's military industry has hundreds of factories and tens of thousands of workers at the ready. But they have been pummeled by Russian missile strikes and have atrophied through decades of mismanagement. According to industry insiders, their output during the first year of the invasion was paltry. Among Zelensky's advisers, some now see the industry as Ukraine's best hope for defeating the Russians in what has become a war of attrition.
The task in front of Kamyshin is huge. Not only will he need to breathe life into Ukraine's moribund factories—in some cases, he will also need to reconfigure them for entirely new purposes. "No matter how much we produce in conventional weapons, we can't catch up with Russia," says Kamyshin. "We need to use advanced technology to find a new approach." He compared the challenge to the story of David and Goliath playing on repeat, with each new phase of the war obliging Ukraine to find a new slingshot.
Its advances so far have been impressive. Since the invasion, Ukraine's engineers have tested new missiles and started mass producing combat drones. Using an old American rocket, the Ukrainians jerry-rigged a system to shoot down Russian aircraft on the cheap. They also started welding hunks of metal into giant rakes to plow through enemy minefields.
Before Kamyshin took charge, a series of reformers attempted to clean up Ukraine's defense sector. Each of them failed. Some blamed a lack of political will at the top. Others pointed to a culture of waste at the bottom. But the fundamental problems with the industry date back to its origins: most of the country's biggest arms factories were designed and built in the Soviet Union to serve the needs of the Kremlin in Moscow.
In 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine's military factories had little choice but to continue selling their products to Russia. For more than two decades, the defense sectors of both countries remained interdependent, often working hand in glove. Russia relied on Ukrainian hardware, including jet engines and ballistic missile technology, while Ukraine's defense sector relied on its income from these sales to Moscow.
In the middle of December, when we last spoke at length on the phone, Kamyshin had just returned home after a long visit to Washington. The previous night, Russia had launched a barrage of missiles at Kyiv. Ukraine's air-defense systems shot them down, but the burning debris rained down over the capital, starting fires, damaging a children's hospital, and wounding at least 53 people. Several facilities from the military industry sustained damage, and Kamyshin made the rounds to see how quickly they could be repaired.
Throughout the year, he has tried to make weapons factories more resilient to such attacks. Many of Ukraine's arms producers are located near the frontlines, where they are vulnerable to Russian artillery fire and aerial bombardment. Instead of moving these factories farther to the west, where their workers and equipment could be more easily protected, Kamyshin decided to "duplicate" them, setting up multiple production lines in different parts of the country. "You pull off a branch, you plant it elsewhere and nurture it," he says. "But the trunk keeps growing."
უკრაინელებისგან მომისმენია, რომ ჭურვების წარმოების მხრივ, მეტალურგიულ ნაწილში გაცილებით მეტი შეუძლიათ, ვიდრე ქიმიური (ასაფეთქებელი მასალა) რომელიც დიდწილად დასავლეთზეა დამოკიდებული და ამუხრუჭებს წარმოებას.
