The drone coalition, consisting of nine countries including Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands, aims to strengthen Ukraine’s unmanned aerial vehicles arsenal. The Netherlands, along with Denmark, previously committed to a joint procurement of drones worth 400 million euros. Ukraine is also set to scale up domestic drone production, targeting 1 million drones by 2024.
Ollongren’s announcement came after meetings in Kyiv with Ukrainian officials, discussing defense production partnerships, technology exchanges, and Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration. Additionally, Latvia plans to invest 20 million euros in the drone coalition for Ukraine this year.
