Ukraine\u2013NATO cooperation<\/p>\n
As a reminder, in recent times, cooperation between Ukraine and the Alliance, as well as EU defense structures, has significantly intensified due to the unique technological experience of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield.<\/p>\n
In particular, NATO representatives have officially expressed admiration for Ukrainian combat robots<\/a>, noting their ability to instantly adapt to changing frontline conditions.<\/p>\n At the same time, the large-scale use of drones has forced the Alliance to completely rethink its defense strategy<\/a>, focusing on finding cheaper interception means and upgrading air surveillance systems.<\/p>\n Against the backdrop of these changes, the European Union has begun developing its own collective defense plan aimed at removing NATO\u2019s bureaucratic obstacles and strengthening Europe\u2019s autonomy.<\/p>\n
