What this report covers
Countries: Ukraine. A sourced, structured 5-page analysis for European defence and dual-use decision-makers, from the DFM research desk and built on official and primary sources.
About this report
One of the most consequential transformations in the architecture of post-2022 Western military assistance has not occurred on the battlefield, but within the industrial policy frameworks of allied support to Ukraine. As the war evolves into a long-duration conflict, the logic of emergency resupply—based on the depletion of allied stockpiles—is proving unsustainable both politically and operationally.
In its place emerges a new paradigm: enabling Ukraine to become a sovereign defense producer. This shift reflects broader geopolitical and strategic recalibrations, where resilience and autonomy are redefined not only in territorial or tactical terms, but also in terms of productive capacity.
Key questions this report answers
- Why is the emergency-resupply model based on depleting allied stockpiles proving unsustainable for Ukraine?
- What does enabling Ukraine to become a sovereign defense producer entail for allied industrial policy?
- How does redefining resilience in terms of productive capacity change Western military assistance?
- What strategic recalibrations underpin the shift from resupply to building Ukraine's indigenous defense industry?
Who it's for
Strategy, corporate-development and investment teams that need an ecosystem-level view — budgets, industrial capacity and technology landscapes — before committing capital or capacity.
