According to Ukrinform, Shmyhal wrote about this on Telegram. 

"We are launching a new experimental project for Motor Sich. We are accelerating the design of new facilities for the enterprise. We are providing them with water, gas, heat, and electricity under a simplified procedure. We are making it possible to create auxiliary infrastructure for the continuous operation of relocated facilities. We guarantee the protection of sensitive security information," Shmyhal said.

According to him, all this will activate the restoration and creation of new Motor Sich facilities to fulfill state defense contracts 24/7.

"We are specifying the conditions, criteria, and mechanisms for providing financial state support to defense enterprises. In particular, regarding partial compensation for interest and leasing payments. We are strengthening, modernizing, and scaling up the defense industry so that the Ukrainian military has everything it needs to protect the state and the life and health of every person," Shmyhal emphasized.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the current task is to organize the actual production of air defense systems and missiles for them in Ukraine.
