IndiaThe European Union and Ukraine have signed a significant defense agreement aimed at combining Ukraine's expertise in drone technology with European industrial capabilities. The deal includes up to €2 billion in funding, with half allocated for joint drone and missile production and €1 billion for supporting Ukrainian defense companies. The agreement allows Ukraine to store drones on EU territory to avoid Russian attacks and includes plans for a broader missile collaboration starting as early as 2028. The move follows a joint air defense initiative between Ukraine and nine European nations, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggesting that enhanced defenses could lead to peace talks.
