History

“Ukroboronprom” was created by the decrees of the President of Ukraine of 9.12.2010 No. 1085/2010 and 28.12.2010 No. 1245/2010, as well as decrees of the Cabinet of Ministers of 29.12.2010 No. 1221 and 31.08.2011 No. 993. The main goal of “Ukroboronprom” is the efficient management of Ukrainian military industrial sector and improvement of the effectiveness of the enterprises that are parts of State Concern. In September 2013, five divisions were created in the structure of “Ukroboronprom”:

s. As separate divisions stand those, that are authorized to conduct import/export operations with military equipment and wares that hold National Security information. These enterprises conduct international sales of equipment produced by Ukrainian military industrial sector and post-sales service of equipment, maintenance, and modernization. Roman Romanov, who graduated from the International Institute of Management (MiM-Kyiv) and has an MBA degree, headed “Ukroboronprom” since 4 June 2014. As a result of his activity, “Ukroboronprom” finally became profitable by the end of 2014. At the end-year 2014 “Ukroboronprom” fulfilled all government contracts by 100%. During the second half of the year 2014, the enterprises of the Concern created more than 2000 jobs and 13 more enterprises became profitable. Moreover, over the second half of the year wage arrears to employees totaling to 45 million UAH were overtaken. On 26 August 2016, “Ukroboronprom” signed a memorandum of cooperation with the former head of the Agency for Defence Advanced Research Projects (

Reforming strategy of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine

In 2016, “Ukroboronprom” developed a strategy for reforming military-industrial complex of Ukraine.

A technical task for an independent audit by leading international consulting and auditing companies was developed. In May 2017, “Ukroboronprom” presented a new website presenting the strategy for reforming of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine �
