Within two weeks Aloyan must submit proposals regarding the personal composition of the Commission.
Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine David Aloyan as head of the Interagency Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation Policy and Export Control. The corresponding presidential decree was signed 15 September 2026 of the year.
The interagency commission is a working body under the NSDC that coordinates the activities of executive authorities in the field of state export control and military-technical cooperation.
In particular, within the framework of exporting Ukrainian weapons to partner-country markets, the MTC Commission reviews defense companies' applications to supply their products abroad. One of the commission’s key areas of activity is also cooperation with international partners within the Drone Deal.
“In this context, the Drone Deal is one of the practical mechanisms for the development of the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex abroad — through procurement of Ukrainian weapons, joint production, and long-term technological cooperation,” the NSDC notes.
Previously the commission was headed by Yevheniy Ostrianskyi, whom Zelensky appointed to that position in 3 December 2025 of the year.

Recall that in 1 July the Cabinet adopted a resolution intended to put an accelerated procedure for arms exports into operation. However, the process, as of today, still has not been launched. Arms manufacturers are still waiting for the Ministry of Defense to provide a list of critical items that cannot be sold abroad, and how the Drone Deal procedure, which was supposed to set the framework for which countries weapons can be sold to, works remains unclear to producers.
In particular, the executive director of the Ukrainian Arms Council, Ihor Fedirko, claims that as of August 2026, since the adoption of the resolution the private defense sector has concluded only up to ten small export contracts. In addition, according to him, only one joint venture of a Ukrainian manufacturer abroad is actually operating. At the same time, under the mechanism provided by resolution No. 875, as of August no permits have been issued.
The Arms Council also believes that provisions regarding the fee for an export permit, its advance payment before contract execution, and conditions that create barriers for test shipments need revision. According to the organization, the fee for a permit may amount to 20–30%.
That the rate level for Ukrainian arms exporters is too high was also emphasized by Anastasiia Mishkina, executive director of the Technological Forces of Ukraine, the association of private producers of defense technologies, in an interview with LB.ua.
“20–30% of the contract amount for export — that is too much and economically impractical, in our view. The TFU overwhelmingly expressed that the rate should be zero. The decision on the so-called fast track was supposed to ease administrative export procedures, but these rates make it economically unprofitable. Because the price on the world market is set not by the producer, but by the market, by competition. And this additional fee eats up all the profit, and the contract, with high probability, goes to another producer. In other words, by our own regulations we give a price advantage to competitors abroad,” she said.
Mishkina added that the association proposes to set a zero rate initially, and before introducing any other rate first calculate possible scenarios.
