  "account": "Kemal Kisa, a Turkish expert on international relations, highlighted Ukraine and Turkey as crucial countries for Black Sea security in an exclusive interview with Ukrinform. Kisa believes future naval cooperation between the two nations is possible, citing Ukraine's extensive wartime experience and technological advancements as valuable assets. Ukraine's war experience and recent progress in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are particularly noteworthy, with Ukraine being among the first to adopt Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones. The fields of unmanned aviation, aircraft engines, and naval sector cooperation are also of interest. Notably, Ukraine has developed advanced engine manufacturing technologies, with Ukrainian engines used in Turkish strike drones. Furthermore, both nations have engaged in naval sector collaboration, including the construction of corvettes. Kisa anticipates that defense industry cooperation between Ukraine and Turkey will expand, stating that Ukraine's wartime experience and Turkey's defense industry growth create opportunities for joint projects. Following the war's conclusion, Kisa predicts strengthened relations between Ukraine and Turkey, particularly in defense industry, economic, and food sectors. Jan Kasapoglu, a senior researcher at the Hudson Institute, previously stated that Ukraine's combat experience and Turkey's manufacturing capabilities could shape a new power balance in the Black Sea region.",
  "summary": "Turkey and Ukraine are important countries from the perspective of regional security in the Black Sea, and cooperation between them in the defense industry has already reached the level of a strategic partnership and has the potential to expand further.",
