However, foreign assistance remains just as crucial as before,&#8221; the analyst said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horyainova also called for tougher sanctions against Russia, which she said &#8220;is showing no signs of being interested&#8221; in &#8220;stopping the war.&#8221; In particular, U.S. sanctions targeting buyers of Russian oil could have a significant impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Every dollar that is put into Russia&#8217;s economy right now is being spent on the war \u2013 so, yes, if the sanctions will be imposed eventually on Russia in 50 days, or earlier hopefully, it will feel that hugely,&#8221; she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horiainova also stressed the need to invest in Ukraine&#8217;s domestic weapons industry, which she described as cheaper, faster, and better suited to the realities of modern warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also expressed hope that the United States would continue selling arms to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to her, high-tech weapons not only enable Ukraine to defend itself effectively, but also help strengthen its status as a reliable strategic partner for European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier tasked the new government with increasing the share of domestically produced weapons on the front lines to 50% within six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/starmer-trump-made-his-demands-clear-to-putin-and-is-backing-them-with-support-for-ukraine\/\">Starmer: Trump Made His Demands Clear to Putin \u2014 and Is Backing Them with Support for Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine continues to expand its domestic weapons production, but international support remains &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1187442,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,49,36415,55],"tags":[76,78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1187440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-ukraine-en","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
