Details: Zelenskyy noted that one of the topics discussed with Scholz in Kyiv was the continuation of cooperation in producing various types of unmanned aerial vehicles.

"UAVs, UGVs, FPV drones, control systems – these are the weapons that help our defenders. It is crucial that Ukraine produces such weapons in cooperation with Germany... I thank Germany for this important support of our defence capabilities," the president said.

Background:

  • Scholz and Zelenskyy also visited wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
