At the end of September, a Ukrainian delegation will arrive in the United States to negotiate the legal part of the agreement on joint weapons production. This was announced during a telethon by Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, Interfax-Ukraine reports.
She confirmed that the issue of military cooperation was discussed at a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and American leader Donald Trump.
"Yes, it was discussed. In sufficient detail. Our president raised this issue - there was a very lively reaction from the US president: for several minutes he continuously admired Ukrainian innovation and capabilities and gave positive signals. We hope that on September 30 the Ukrainian team will arrive for negotiations on the legal part of the agreement," she said.
According to Olha Stefanishyna, the United States is interested in unmanned systems of various types.
"By the way, this was one of the questions from the US President. President Zelensky said that we could be talking about different types of drones, depending on the needs of the US government," the ambassador added.
It was previously reported that the US is stalling in creating a fleet of naval drones to counter China. Two drones failed simultaneously during tests.
