EU is providing funds to help boost Ukraine 's domestic arms manufacturing.

It's a strategy to make Ukraine more self-reliant and ease pressure on Europe 's own stockpiles.

In March , the EU said that half of a 2 billion ( $2.3 billion ) aid package was being earmarked specifically to help Ukraine boost its own artillery production, the largest package of its kind to date.

Ukraine could manufacture significantly more than 40% of its equipment domestically, says Parakilas .

But this, he says, means the sector would become more exposed to Russian attacks.

"It will over time not be sensible to distinguish between the EU / European and Ukrainian defense sectors," Kirkegaard said.
