Luxembourg became the 17th partner country that joined the initiative of the international drone coalition for Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense has said this in a statement, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"Our goal is to ensure the industrial production of FPV drones in Ukraine and in the West, in order to create an asymmetric technological advantage over the enemy in the long term. And also to scale their production. Therefore, we are glad to welcome Luxembourg to the Coalition, which over the years has consistently and continuously helped our army, and now will be involved in the development of the drone industry," said Kateryna Chernohorenko, Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization.
The Ministry of Defense noted that Ukraine has already received thousands of drones from partner countries. It is expected that another 20,000-30,000 drones will be purchased and delivered from the funds already accumulated within the Coalition for joint procurement (EUR 50 million).
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the "drone coalition" was created by Ukraine and Latvia, the decision was made during the visit of Latvian Defense Minister Andris Sprūds to Kyiv in December 2023. The Coalition became operational in February 2024.
In September, for the first time, Ukrainian drone manufacturers had the opportunity to join international tenders within the Coalition.
