KYIV, June 4 – Ukraine may benefit from selling more arms to South-East Asia and Middle East after the U.S. has targeted Russian weapons makers with sanctions, the head of the state defense group Ukroboronprom said.

"We plan to sign contracts to replace Russian products. There are markets where Russia had large advantage, although due to sanctions Russian cooperation is complicated. These processes play into our hands," Pavlo Bukin said in an interview with obozrevael.ua.
