Details: According to van Weel, the agreement, which introduces new standards for information exchange between Ukraine and NATO, including on the supply chain of drones, will be finalised before the Alliance summit in Washington.

One of the agreement's aims is to help Ukraine become a large-scale technology supplier after the war. For NATO, it is also about replicating some of the examples of rapid deployment and adoption of military technology.

"Ukrainians are innovating at a very high speed. But of course, the Russians are not stupid. That means innovation in the battlefield is not a static thing. It's more like chess," the official said.

Van Weel's statement was made at the first NATO-Ukraine Defence Innovation Forum, which took place in the Polish city of Kraków earlier this week and was attended by representatives of 17 countries, including Ukraine, Belgium and the United States.

The main topic of the event was the way to counter Russia's ongoing jamming of the global GPS positioning system, which has rendered some Ukrainian drones and foreign precision weapons ineffective.

This is especially relevant given that a number of Western countries have allowed their weapons to be used to strike Russian territory.

Meanwhile, Kyiv wants to reach an agreement to expand the scope of this authorisation.
