Lithuania is ready to support the industrial project and help Ukraine with technologies for drones.

The key topic of negotiations between the foreign ministers of Ukraine and Lithuania was the joint production of drones.

“Lithuania has technology, we have the ability to scale production. It was a key issue. There is a clear understanding of what, how and when to be done, so that Ukrainian-Lithuanian cooperation in the production of drones in the shortest possible time will give the maximum result,” Kuleba said.

The topics of negotiations were also the issue of frozen Russian assets, sanctions and “everything that needs effective solutions” and Ukraine’s accession to NATO and the EU.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said Lithuania could quickly start producing parts to complete drones needed for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“We can start producing components of what is needed on the battlefield, in particular what will be needed to produce drones. We are talking about a limited number at first, but I think it can happen very quickly,” Landsbergis noted.

“Lithuania is ready to help any business in any industry that is ready to join this,” the minister said.

Ukraine also established joint production of drones with the UK. The Ambassador of the Kingdom called joint production of drones one of the most promising areas of cooperation with Ukraine.

Earlier, Lithuania announced Ukraine’s readiness to “partially” transfer drone production to the territory of its country.

This step is considered as “mutually beneficial cooperation and preparation of Western neighbors for possible military threats.”

“You can also talk about co-production. It seems that Ukrainians are interested in the possible transfer of part of production to Lithuania. With our help, and perhaps partly for ourselves, if we could provide them with the necessary drones,” said Gabrielius Landsbergis, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania.

It is worth recalling that in January, Ukroboronprom has begun to cooperate with four defense companies in Lithuania that specialize in the development of optical and electronic warfare systems.
