President Volodymyr Zelensky said he expects to see tangible results from the European anti-ballistic missile program ahead of winter. According to him, the defense ministers of Ukraine and Germany have already signed an agreement enabling cooperation between relevant companies.
The Ukrainian President made the remarks during the opening of a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
"Today, Ukraine and Germany are taking a very important joint step, I think. We have some technologies, and Germany has some technologies, and today, our defense ministers have already signed an agreement to bring these capabilities together. In Ukraine we have a company which is capable of producing ballistic missiles. Fire Point is moving toward this, and you have capable companies as well," Zelensky said.
He stressed that the coalition of countries united around the anti-ballistic missile initiative must "demonstrate its full capability and deliver real results, better this year."
"By this winter, we should already see concrete outcomes from our joint work on anti-ballistic defense. This is something we all need, not only Ukraine. And this is a long-term effort," the President stressed.
