Ukraine's private arms sector is ramping up production of homegrown weapons with the possibility of former President Donald Trump's re-election.

Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports that Pentagon officials are ‘dismissive’ of the Washington Post report, but ‘admit’ the counteroffensive is ‘slow-going.’

"For the Russians, it was always easier to get [the Chinese products] in the never-ending race. So, when I hear Ukrainians managed to snatch up 10,000 components for… drones from Russians, I am happy," Serhiy Prytula, who runs a foundation supporting arms production for Ukraine, told Politico."The defense ministry also can’t buy [drones] that are not in serial production yet.

Serhiy Prytula, a former stand-up comedian whose crowdfunding campaigns for the Ukrainian military have made him a national hero, talks with AFP journalists in front of"war trophies, gifted by Ukrainian soldiers" in Kyiv on Aug. 4, 2023.
