KIEV, Aug. 23 – Ukraine must start a dialog with the United States on joint production of weapons and ammunition on its territory and it would be beneficial both for Ukraine and the United States, Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Valeriy Chaly said.

"I think that we need to speak not only about supplies. Today we need to seriously speak about joint production of weapons and ammunition… Ukraine not only restored its armed forces almost from the ground up, but it returned human potential to the plants having financing. They are trying to restore a defense and industrial potential… We need production on the territory of Ukraine. This is a good option [for the United States], as there are chances to enter third markets," Chaly said in an interview with Channel 5 TV on Monday.
