ANKARA: President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that Ukraine had signed three more “drone deals” with Denmark, Estonia and the Netherlands, making available its expertise gained from more than four years of war with Russia.
Zelensky announced the deals in posts on social media on the sidelines of the NATO summit in the Turkish capital Ankara and said that Kyiv had now clinched nine such accords.
Ukraine has developed a highly sophisticated drone industry after having only limited expertise in the sector when Russia invaded its smaller neighbor in February 2022.
Zelensky has traveled widely to promote the deals, particularly in the Middle East, where Gulf countries were obliged this year to counter Iranian strikes.
In announcing the deal with Denmark, Zelensky said the agreement “opens up greater opportunities for joint defense production, the exchange of expertise, and transparency in weapons exports.”
