Ukraine and Finland have concluded a defence cooperation agreement in the Drone Deal format. The document was signed by Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, according to the President’s <\/a>Office website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 11th Drone Deal-format agreement that Ukraine has concluded with partners. It covers the exchange of experience and technologies, joint production, and opportunities for cooperation between companies from the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re was also present at the meeting between Zelenskyy and Stubb. The Drone Deal with his country was signed exactly a month ago<\/a>, Defender reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
