Within two weeks Aloyan must submit proposals regarding the Commission's personnel composition
Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Davyd Aloyan as chair of the Interagency Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation Policy and Export Control. The corresponding presidential decree was signed on 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, as part of the export of Ukrainian weaponry to partner country markets, the MTCC considers applications from defense companies to supply their products abroad. One of the commission’s key areas of activity is also cooperation with international partners within the Drone Deal framework.
“In this context, the Drone Deal is one of the practical mechanisms for developing the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex abroad — through purchases of Ukrainian weapons, joint production, and long-term technological cooperation,” the NSDC notes.
Before this, the commission was chaired by Yevheniy Ostrianskyi, whom Zelenskyy appointed to this position on 3 December 2025 of the year.
What is known about Davyd Aloyan
Davyd Aloyan In 2021 he earned a master’s degree in international economic relations from the Vadym Hetman Kyiv National Economic University. While studying, he engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Later he worked at the Kyiv branch of the American logistics company Everest TS LLC.
In 2021 he joined the team of the Ministry for Strategic Industries of Ukraine. He advanced from a leading specialist in the department for attracting investments, public-private partnership and state investment projects to acting head of the Directorate for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Multilateral Cooperation.
In April 2025 he was appointed Deputy Minister for European Integration at the Ministry for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, where he oversaw development of the defense-industrial complex, production localization, international cooperation, and strategic planning.
On 8 September 2025 he was appointed Deputy Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine.
Recall that on 1 July the Cabinet adopted a resolution intended to launch an accelerated procedure for exporting weapons. However, the process still has not been launched as of today. Weapons 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, Executive Director of the Ukrainian Arms Council Ihor Fedirko claims that as of August 2026, since the resolution was adopted the private defense sector has concluded only up to ten small export contracts. In addition, he says 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 had 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 to test shipments need revision. According to the organization, the fee for a permit may amount to 20–30%.
That the rate 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 defense technology manufacturers, 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 export administratively, but these rates make it economically unviable. Because the price on the world market is set not by the manufacturer but by the market, competition. And this additional fee eats up all profit, and the contract will very likely go to another manufacturer. That is, by our own regulations we give a price advantage to competitors abroad,” she said.
Mishkina added that the association proposes setting an initial zero rate, and before introducing any other rate first model the possible scenarios.
