President Zelenskyy: More investments in Ukrainian drone production expected

“There was also a meeting with the Minister of Defense of Italy. I am grateful to Italy for all the support it has provided to our state and our people,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Jan. 16.

I wish you health, fellow Ukrainians!

Today has been a long day.

The visit of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the signing of the One Hundred Year Partnership Agreement. This is a fundamentally new format of relations. Relations between Ukraine and the UK are now closer than ever, and some of the things we included in the One Hundred Year Partnership Agreement with the UK can definitely be replicated with other countries, further developing our partnerships. More defense cooperation, more security cooperation. This year alone, we are receiving $6.6 billion in military aid from the United Kingdom, with more than $3 billion allocated as an annual commitment – an obligatory level of support that will continue for as long as necessary on a long-term basis. In addition, the agreement includes economic, technological, and educational cooperation – the development of our schools and universities in partnership with British ones. There is also a classified, secret part of the agreement. Everything that truly adds resilience and opportunities for our development.
