Kyiv is expanding defense cooperation with Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Denmark.

As a part of these new partnerships, Kyiv and Vilnius will launch joint ventures, including long-range drone production, development of Ukrainian companies in Lithuania, and technology exchange. Additionally, the main focus of Ukraine’s cooperation with Romania is to develop the production of interceptor drones, FPV drones, and long-range UAVs. Bucharest has already provided 22 packages of military aid to Kyiv, with the 23rd expected soon.

Meanwhile, the second-largest training camp for Ukrainian and Polish military personnel is being built in southern Poland with support from NATO and Norway. Construction started on July 14, and work is nearly finished; the first training course for Ukrainian troops will start there on September 1.

Also, Ukraine and Denmark are launching a joint project under the Build with Ukraine initiative. This project will help expand Ukrainian weapons production in Denmark and strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities. The Build with Ukraine initiative is an important step in improving air defense to counter Russian attacks and in developing long-range weapons to encourage Russia toward peace.
