  "account": "Ukrainian Defense Minister Khmara emphasized the importance of equal rules for all defense industry enterprises, urging manufacturers to comprehend state needs and plan their work accordingly. In return, the defense industry should realistically assess its production capabilities and continuously seek new technological solutions, Khmara stated.\n\nThe ministry stressed that the primary criterion for the defense industry's development should be its ability to meet the needs of Ukraine's Defense Forces, rather than focusing on sales. Khmara highlighted the need for a clear understanding of the frontline's weaponry requirements and guaranteeing the timely delivery of such weaponry.\n\nFurthermore, the minister stressed the significance of reinvesting profits into enterprise development and increasing production volumes. This, Khmara noted, would enable Ukraine's defense industry to swiftly respond to ever-changing battlefield needs.",
