In order to allow Ukraine to use the financial and economic assistance in a way that is the most adapted to the circumstances, it is appropriate to allow it to employ the funds to support Ukraine’s defence industrial capacities by different implementation methods that reflect the diversity of the needs. The funds may also contribute to the Ukraine Support Instrument established by Regulation (EU) 2025/2643 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the Ukraine Investment Framework established by Regulation (EU) 2024/792 for dual-use goods or other Union programmes. Moreover, the funds should allow Ukraine to engage in a massive intervention in the demand for defence products in order to create suitable conditions to incentivise massive investments in the ramp up of the production capacity and in the development of new products. For that purpose, Ukraine should be allowed to use the funds to launch massive procurements of defence products made from the Ukrainian Defence Technological and Industrial Base and the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base via procurements under the Security Action for Europe Instrument (the SAFE instrument) established by Council Regulation (EU) 2025/1106 or, subject to validations, under other implementation methods.
