Ukrainian construction materials manufacturers and research institutes are working to bring their products and structures used in the defense sector to NATO standards, said Konstantin Saliy, president of the All-Ukrainian Union of Construction Materials Manufacturers (VSPB).

“The direction we are working on is to ensure that Ukrainian products, building materials, structures and constructions for the Ministry of Defense meet the NATO AQAP 2110 standard,” Saliy said at the roundtable “Building Materials. Preparedness for Market Needs for Recovery” at Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.

According to him, Ukrainian unions and associations of building materials are involved in the construction of defense structures and in the scientific and technical councils of the Defense Ministry.

“We are working, we are heard and asked. We are trying to combine the efforts of our military with specialized state research institutes to make this assistance professional. We want all the developments to be tested at training grounds and field trials to be conducted,” he explained.
