Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's former foreign minister, emphasized the potential of the country's defense industry to drive economic recovery post-war. He noted that the current restructuring of Ukraine's economy could leverage military technologies, including AI and autonomous vehicles, to enhance productivity and efficiency in the private sector. Although Ukraine's GDP suffered dramatically due to the war, recent growth is attributed to significant Western military support and the defense industry's expansion. Kuleba envisions a future where the defense sector becomes central to economic revitalization, optimizing various industries with innovative technologies.
"When I look at defense industries, I think of how to turn them into a driving force of Ukraine's economic revival."
"Today, a different economy is emerging in front of us," Kuleba told BI, one where he said the private sector could also "massively" leverage Ukraine's defense technologies, such as AI-piloted drones and autonomous vehicles used on the front lines.
