We also discussed how to give a new impetus to the organization of a new joint production of 155-mm shells in Latvia or at joint ventures. I am confident that we will soon see the results of these negotiations. I would also like to thank Latvia for its effective leadership in the drone coalition, where we expect to launch joint production of drones for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the near future. Indeed, I confirm the high performance of drones manufactured in Latvia, which are very impressive
