INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION ВСТУП
Over the course of 25 years since independence, Ukraine’s
defense industrial sector has developed into a form based on a post-
Soviet model and which is characterized by inadequate
responsiveness to the needs of the defense forces of Ukraine,
significant dependence on state financing, and insufficient
transparency and accountability. Presently, approximately 300
enterprises, institutions, and organizations employing over 250,000
people are licensed to produce arms and military equipment in
Ukraine. Many of these are state-owned enterprises dependent on
subsidies from the national budget.

Впродовж 25 років з моменту здобуття Україною незалежності
оборонно-промисловий сектор країни поступово набув форми пост-
радянської моделі, ознаками якої є неналежне реагування на виклики
та нездатність реагувати на потреби сил оборони України, високий
рівень залежності від бюджетного фінансування, недостатня
прозорість та недостатня фінансова та виконавча відповідальність.
Сьогодні близько 300 підприємств, установ і організацій, в яких
зайняті понад 250 000 осіб залучені до створення, виробництва
озброєння і військової техніки в Україні. Більшість з цих підприємств
знаходяться в державній власності та залежать від субсидій з
державного бюджету.
This development has been complicated by the politico-military and
economic situation as a result of the armed Russian aggression
against Ukraine, occupation by Russia of a part of the sovereign
territory of Ukraine, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the
city of Sevastopol. An armed conflict continues on a part of the
territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions that is inspired and
supported by the Kremlin and poses a potential threat of escalation
into an overt armed confrontation between Ukraine and the Russian
Federation. The conflict has resulted in the decision of the
government to prohibit defense industrial cooperation with the
Russian Federation, which until 2014 had been the primary
customer of Ukrainian arms exports.

Розвиток даного сектору ускладнений через військово-політичну та
економічну ситуацію, що виникла внаслідок збройної агресії
Російської Федерації (далі - РФ) проти України, тимчасовою окупацію
РФ частини суверенної території України, Автономної Республіки
Крим та м. Севастополь. Збройний конфлікт триває в окремих
районах Донецької та Луганської областей, де за підтримки РФ діють
терористичні угрупування. Також існує потенційна загроза ескалації
конфлікту та відкритого збройного протистояння між РФ та Україною.
Конфлікт призвів до прийняття Урядом України рішення про
заборону військово-технічного співробітництва з РФ, яка до 2014 року
була основним замовником українських товарів військового
призначення та подвійного використання.
Given the above issues, the defense industrial sector must transform
to meet the current and future needs of the national defense of
Ukraine and contribute to strengthening of the economic potential
of the country. The Strategy for the Development of the Military
Industrial Complex will serve as a roadmap for the reform. This
strategy is an unprecedented transformational document that
provides a framework for undertaking significant reforms within
Ukraine’s military-industrial complex. The changes envisioned in
the strategy seek to introduce efficiencies by dis-aggregating the
166 or so state-owned enterprises that currently exist within
Ukraine’s defense sector. This will be accomplished through
privatization, the disposal of enterprises that are either inefficient or
not value-added, and the introduction of better, modern, and more
agile business practices.

З огляду на викладене вище, оборонно-промисловий сектор повинен
трансформуватись для задоволення нагальних поточних та майбутніх
потреб сил оборони та безпеки України та зробити вклад у зміцнення
економічного потенціалу країни. Стратегія розвитку оборонно-
промислового сектору (далі - Стратегія) служитиме «дорожньою
мапою» реформ. Така Стратегія є суттєвим планом трансформації для
впровадження змін. Цей план служить основою для проведення
важливих реформ оборонно-промислового сектору України. Зміни,
передбачені Стратегією, спрямовані на підвищення ефективності
оборонної промисловості шляхом реструктуризації державних
підприємств, які сьогодні функціонують в оборонно-промисловому
секторі України. Це буде здійснено шляхом приватизації частини
підприємств, ліквідації неефективних або фактично недіючих
підприємств, а також шляхом впровадження кращих, сучасних і більш
гнучких методів управління на тих суб'єктах господарювання, які
залишаться у власності держави.
