Top defense firm General Dynamics, a major contractor for the U.S. military, is planning to open a new weapons factory in western Ukraine, DailyMail.com can reveal.
It means that U.S. taxpayers look set to bankroll Ukraine’s weapons supplies via lucrative Pentagon contracts for years to come with no end in sight to the nearly two-year war.
Three sources familiar with the Virginia-based firm’s plans said the company will ramp up domestic production of arms supplies amid concerns about Kyiv‘s flagging counteroffensive to boot out Russia‘s armed forces from its occupied territories.
A proposal was drawn up last month and sent to Ukraine’s government to set up the manufacturing facility in the west of the country, which has been largely unscathed from Vladmir Putin‘s brutal invasion, within the next six months.
The revelations would also appear to cast doubt on recent German media reports that the U.S. and Germany are working on a secret plan to force Ukraine to the negotiating table and end the war.
