The United States and Ukraine drafted a defense agreement for joint military drone manufacturing. This pact allows Kyiv to export combat-proven technologies to American defense firms.

The partnership establishes joint ventures combining Ukrainian battlefield innovation with U.S. financing and industrial scale. Ukraine aims to use the deal to expand its domestic defense production.

President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that nearly 20 countries currently cooperate with Kyiv on drone development. The agreement provides U.S. firms direct access to battle-tested designs and tactics.
