Zelenskyy discussed the project with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and senior defence industry executives in Oslo. The meeting was intended to move Freyja from political agreement towards coordinated industrial work.
The Ukrainian delegation presented progress made on the programme and outlined the next implementation steps. Participants agreed on actions required from national leaders and company executives over the coming months.
Executives attended from Fire Point, Kongsberg, Weibel, Saab, Diehl Defence, HENSOLDT, Thales, Safran, Sener and Leonardo. Norway’s defence, foreign affairs and finance ministers also joined the talks.
Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine’s manufacturing capability would need to be matched by firm commitments from participating countries. Ukraine is counting on the programme to begin producing tangible results within the stated timetable.
The president also discussed Ukraine’s immediate air-defence requirements with the industry representatives. Strengthening protection against aerial threats remains an urgent priority for Kyiv.
The Oslo meeting followed initial Freyja talks in Paris on 13 July. That gathering brought together heads of state and government, defence ministers, national security advisers and defence company executives.
The participants signed a declaration establishing the Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition. Its founding members are Ukraine, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Zelenskyy has said Freyja could become a shared European system providing integrated protection against aerial threats. The initiative combines Ukraine’s proposed interceptor and launcher with political and industrial support from partner countries.
