Von der Leyen and Zelenski sign a pact to mass produce drones in Europe

On July 15, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodímir Zelenski and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed an agreement to jointly boost the mass production of drones. This initiative aims to leverage Europe’s industrial base alongside Ukraine’s extensive experience in drone warfare, gained over four years of resistance against Russian forces. While Ukraine had previously entered bilateral agreements with some EU member states, this new accord marks the beginning of large-scale military cooperation between the two parties. The collaboration seeks to enhance Europe’s defense capabilities by integrating advanced drone technology into its strategic framework.
