  "summary": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced during a Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) summit in Kyiv that Ukraine will sign a drone cooperation agreement with Norway. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of the Nordic and Baltic states as staunch partners in defending freedom and Europe, warning of Russia's preparations for an autumn and winter offensive. He thanked NB8 countries for their work under the FREYJA program, an anti-ballistic defense initiative, and called for weekly progress to enhance shared ballistic missile defense. Zelenskyy also highlighted the need for $8-10 billion to cover Ukraine's military budget shortfall and reiterated NB8's military aid commitments, while denying any Ukrainian involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.",
