Starting from the fall of 2023, Petro Poroshenko invested more than 200 million hryvnias in the production of unique systems for countering the means of technical intelligence “Ai-Petri SV”, which have successfully passed tests and are already in use in the Armed Forces, covering a thousand kilometers of the battle line.
During this time, Poroshenko’s companies paid UAH 20 billion in taxes to the budget, including VAT.

Two-thirds of the projects are related to the supply of weapons, the strengthening of air defenses and the construction of fortifications and are currently not disclosed for security reasons.
As the fifth President noted during his speech in the Verkhovna Rada, this war will decide whether the Ukrainian state will continue to exist, or whether the Ukrainian people will survive. “A lot of work still falls on the shoulders of the people, volunteers, donors and benefactors. During these thousand days, our team made 140 marches to the front – not to take selfies, but to provide soldiers with FPV, EW, armored vehicles, means of countering technical intelligence and everything that the state did not provide. The state must fulfill its functions – to motivate the soldier, arm the soldier, provide for the soldier and ensure our victory,” Poroshenko stressed.
He warned that now it is critically important to concentrate and change the situation. “Parliament should form a coalition of national unity. “Parliament should form a government of national unity that will finally work for defense, for the Armed Forces,” Poroshenko stressed.
