Ukraine and the United States have conducted a new round of technical discussions to advance a long-term agreement for the acquisition and production of drones manufactured in Ukraine.

The information comes from the site Militarnyi, which reported that a Ukrainian delegation, including representatives from the Ministry of Defense and the National Security and Defense Council, traveled to the United States for the negotiations.

The main focus of the visit was to present the capabilities of Ukrainian unmanned aerial systems (UAVs), discuss acquisition terms, and explore options for integrating them into U.S. defense operations.

“The American team highlighted Ukraine’s expertise in developing the drone industry—not only the production of UAVs but also maritime drones and ground robotic complexes,” said the Ministry of Defense.

The negotiations were described as a preparatory step for a broader agreement, known as the “Drone Agreement,” previously announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The agreement, expected to last five years, foresees the purchase of drones produced in Ukraine by the United States and paves the way for the joint production of various models across different military sectors.
