Ukraine is interested in cooperating with Japan's Mitsubishi, which holds a license to manufacture missiles for the Patriot air defense system and has experience in establishing such production.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said this while answering journalists' questions on Thursday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
Asked whether Ukraine was interested in cooperating with Mitsubishi, Zelensky said: "We know what Mitsubishi does. It has demonstrated a very high standard in producing missiles for the Patriot system. It is probably the strongest example today of how, after obtaining a U.S. license, a company can establish its own anti-ballistic missile production. We would certainly like to see them in Ukraine. We would welcome an exchange of experience, but that depends on the willingness of the Japanese side."
