"Ukraine is still Europe's first line of defense. That is why security guarantees for Ukraine are also part of the roadmap (for defense to strengthen European defense capabilities - ed.)," Kallas said.
Kallas emphasized: "The strongest security guarantee is a strong Ukrainian defense industry and a strong Ukrainian army."
So here we are also setting milestones, including the creation of a "Drone Alliance" with Ukraine by early next year

Kallas stated: "Ukraine's drone defense is world-class."
"We were just with European Commission Executive Vice-President Virkkunen in Kyiv this Monday, also visiting drone factories. It's incredible what they are doing. We must use their experience on the battlefield, as well as their innovations, to develop this together," emphasized the head of EU diplomacy.
