KYIV
Ukraine and the European Union have sealed a drone deal to combine Kyiv’s expertise with European industrial capacity to establish joint projects and scale up production, European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday. We need to combine our strengths, von der Leyen said in a speech in Kyiv at a ceremony to mark the countryss Statehood Day. This deal will bring together Ukrainian ingenuity and Europe’s industrial scale. Ukraine has signed a series of such deals with individual countries. At last week’s NATO summit in Akara, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed three more, saying that brought the total to nine. But Wednesday’s deal is the first agreement intended to cover countries and companies across the European Union.
