The Ukrainian Foreign Minister emphasized that one of the key topics in cooperation with the Alliance is the unification of defense industries and the increase in arms production.

Ukraine's victory is in the interests not only of our country, but also of the entire Euro-Atlantic community. To ensure sustainability, the defense industries must increase production, unite and work as one integrated mechanism,

"We are significantly expanding our cooperation with NATO, in fact, we have already become an army of NATO standards: both in terms of technical capabilities and management of approaches and principles of military management," the Ukrainian Foreign Minister emphasized.
