Canada considering supporting production of Ukrainian long-range drones
Canada is considering supporting the production of long-range drones in Ukraine, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
"I have had a meeting with the Ambassador of Canada to Ukraine Natalka Cmoc. We focused on developing cooperation in the defense industry. Canada is already participating in the ‘Danish model’ - an extremely effective mechanism for supporting Ukraine. We discussed new initiatives that will strengthen Ukrainian soldiers," he wrote on his Telegram channel on Friday.
Shmyhal said that Canada is preparing a contribution to the PURL initiative, which helps Ukraine obtain weapons and technology from the United States. The possibility of supporting the production of Ukrainian long-range drones, which have already demonstrated high efficiency, is also being considered.
"I separately presented to the Canadian side the Defence City mechanism - a special legal regime for the development of the defence ecosystem in Ukraine. Together with Canada, we are strengthening Ukraine's defence capability and building the foundation for a long-term and sustainable peace," he noted.
