Specific production volumes and timelines have not been disclosed.

Separately, Britain finalized a $282 million contract to supply enriched uranium to Ukraine’s nuclear reactors. The agreement ensures the Ukrainian nuclear energy sector receives critical fuel supplies, essential for the country’s energy independence and stability amid the war.

Both transactions underscore continued international support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. The MAUL robot and uranium supplies are part of broader Western assistance encompassing both military and energy dimensions.
