The Cabinet has simplified the import of commercial drones to Ukraine for the Armed Forces: what will change

Ukrainians no longer need to receive guarantee letters and licenses, which will get drones at the front more likely to receive. In Ukraine, at the time of martial law, the procedure for importing drones from abroad was simplified. The press service of the Ministry of Defense on the official site informed about it on January 4. The Cabinet of Ministers adopted Resolution No.

174 "Some issues of humanitarian aid passage across the customs border of Ukraine in the conditions of martial law" on the initiative of the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Economy. According to the government's decision, the drones and part of them (civil and double -purpose) are included in the list of goods for humanitarian aid. The new version of the resolution abolished the need for guarantee letters and licenses.

The carrier only needs to make a declaration, specifying the goods in it, and submit it in physical or electronic form. The load should then be passed across the border. Innovations should greatly accelerate the supply of civilian UAV models to the Ukrainian military, which use them mainly for reconnaissance on the front line. Earlier, the Head of Aerial Intelligence Center Maria Berlinskaya stated that the State Export Control Service prevents the Drones of the Armed Forces from abroad.

The department recognized civilian UAVs of double -purpose goods and required the volunteers and the military to collect guarantee letters. A party of 500 drones stuck through the paperwork on the Polish-Ukrainian border. Maria Berlinskaya reported that she had addressed the chairman of the DSEC Alexander Pavlychenko - he promised to resolve the issue, but since then more than three months.
