How Bayraktar plant construction in Ukraine progressing? Ukraine's ambassador to Türkiye responds

The Ukrainian government has recently approved a bilateral agreement for the construction of the Bayraktarov plant and sent it to parliament for ratification.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the Republic of Türkiye Vasyl Bodnar made the remarks in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.

According to the ambassador, the owner of the company has already purchased a land plot in Ukraine, has developed a project for the plant itself and is ready to implement it to the end.

"And it (the commitment to start the construction of the plant in Ukraine) is not only political but also practical, since a significant part of the models that will be produced at this plant will have Ukrainian-made components," Bodnar added.

As the ambassador noted, during the construction of aircraft, engines, wheels, or other spare parts of Ukrainian production can be used.

"Despite the war, our companies continue to fulfil their obligations. Perhaps not in such volumes as it was planned, but they do not leave this work, and it also shows how responsible a partner we are, which does not leave the Turkish side alone with its problems, primarily in supplying those things that are needed for their defence," Bodnar said.
