Minister Umerov underlined that strengthening air defences is a top national priority. “We stand ready to invest in this area, as it concerns the lives of our citizens and the resilience of the state,” he stated.
The delegations also explored further cooperation between the United States and Ukraine in the defence industry. “This is one of our strategic priorities. Deepening interaction with Raytheon is a strategic component of such cooperation,” the Minister added.
Ukrainian representatives emphasised the willingness of local defence companies to partner with U.S. manufacturers. The aim is to enhance the efficiency of maintenance and support for military equipment already in service.
