🇺🇦🇬🇧 Ukraine and the UK launch a project to jointly produce drones, Defense Minister Umerov announced. For the first three years, the UK will fund a wide range of Ukrainian-designed drones to be built on British soil, all going to Ukraine’s defense during the war. Afterward, production will be shared.
