According to the head of state, as of today, there are all opportunities to integrate Ukrainian experience into the European security system.
Zelensky also emphasized that cooperation with allies in the Middle East and the Gulf is proof that domestic drone deals are the most effective.
Against this background, the Ukrainian leader officially confirmed the signing of an agreement on a new German contribution to our drone production.
We must ensure that our capabilities are such that Europeans can produce here, in Europe, everything that is critically needed to defend Europe. Our European industry, our technological base, our military and political capabilities must be sufficient to ensure that Europe — every country, every people — has reliable protection of life under all conditions.

President of Ukraine
