President Zelensky visits relocated motor vehicle and defense industry enterprises in Poltava

During a working visit to Poltava, President Volodymyr Zelensky visited a relocated company specializing in the production of motor vehicles and defense industry enterprises. In the presence of the head of state, the Ministry of Defense signed two defense contracts with manufacturers worth almost 5 billion UAH.

“Thank you for your work. It is very important to keep the economy going in Ukraine. It supports our soldiers and many more,” the president said, addressing employees of the relocated company.

The company’s executive director informed the head of state that the company was located in the Kharkov region before the large-scale Russian invasion. Due to constant shelling and direct hits on the company, it was moved to Poltava in July 2022.

Volodymyr Zelensky was shown samples of the company’s products, including trailers and special vehicles.

The president also spoke to workers, including local residents and displaced persons. Special attention was paid to strengthening air defenses and ensuring a stable electricity supply.
