Western militaries are undermining Ukraine’s defence, experts say

Experts from the Kyiv School of Economics and Al Jazeera report that rigid Western military attitudes and regulatory paralysis in Kyiv are hindering joint weapons production, thereby undermining Ukraine's defense and leaving European forces unprepared. Stalled ventures, such as a Rheinmetall artillery shell factory, are attributed to delayed permits, site changes, and complex intellectual property and export rights issues, contrasting with Ukraine's rapid drone innovation.
