Ukraine signed six ten-year agreements within the Drone Deal, which provide for the export of defense technologies. Over 20 countries are preparing to join the initiative, and the review period for export applications has been reduced to 30 days.
Ukraine has already signed six agreements under the Drone Deal, with more than 20 other countries preparing to join. This was announced during a presentation to representatives of the Ukrainian defense industry on the principles of the Drone Deal under the new Fast Track resolution by NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov, reports UNN.
Details
According to him, each agreement is concluded for 10 years and provides for the export of Ukrainian defense technologies and production, as well as the development of defense cooperation with partners.
Umerov clarified that the Drone Deal combines 4 key areas:
- expert security assistance — consultations and analytics from our military in partner countries;
- export of combat-proven solutions;
- localization of production on the territory of partners, including in the Build with Ukraine and Build in Ukraine formats;
- special projects — cyber cooperation, critical infrastructure protection, satellite projects, etc.
To ensure everything works quickly and simply, we adopted the Fast Track resolution for the Drone Deal. The review period for export applications is reduced from 90 to 30 days for goods not included in the list of critical products
He added that defense technologies "should not only work to strengthen the Defense Forces of Ukraine, but also become the foundation of a new security architecture together with our international partners."

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed cooperation with Ireland in the field of drones under the Drone Deal format.
