Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Facebook that Finland will manufacture drones for Ukraine and Europe. The announcement came after a roundtable discussion on defense industry cooperation between Ukraine and Finland. Zelensky and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed agreements to develop and manufacture drones in Finland, expand capabilities in unmanned maritime systems, and establish companies for ground-based robotic systems.
Zelensky highlighted the significance of this partnership on National Flag Day and the eve of Finland's Independence Day, expressing gratitude to Finnish President Stubb, the government, Finnish businesses, and the Finnish people for their support since the beginning of the war. The announcement was made amidst a list of leaders from Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Norway, Estonia, and Latvia who have pledged their support for Ukraine during this time of crisis.
