I wish you good health, fellow Ukrainians!
A brief summary of what we have accomplished during the week with our friends, the friends of Ukraine.
With Denmark, we now have new agreements on coproduction of weapons. An agreement was concluded; it was signed yesterday between Ukraine’s Ministry of Strategic Industries and Denmark’s Ministry of Industry. We will work on Denmark’s territory, and this is our joint project – the first substantial capabilities of our Ukrainian production abroad. And that’s not all. More such agreements will follow. The Danish model of investing in Ukraine’s own DIB here, on our soil, has proven its effectiveness. Joint work on the territory of Denmark, and soon in other key partner countries, is allowing us to scale up even more. This applies to drones and many other types of urgently needed weapons.
As per drones, we have also reached an agreement with the American side to significantly increase our joint efforts. This week, an agreement was signed between Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense and one of the leading U.S. companies. It will provide Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of drones as early as this year, on special terms, and even significantly more drones the following year. This includes interceptor drones, which are clearly our priority.
The task for our entire state, for Ukraine’s Defense Forces, and for all businesses working specifically in this field is to deliver more results literally every week, more results particularly in drones, especially interceptors. This means producing more of such drones, training more drone operators, and significantly increasing efficiency in deploying interceptors. Responsibility for this area of security is personal for everyone involved in making and implementing respective decisions. The interceptors must work.
