Quote from Ukrainian Strategic Industries Minister Herman Smetanin: "I was pleased to hear about the interest of EM&M representatives in doing business in Ukraine and their understanding of the prospects for cooperation with Ukrainian defence companies.

Such cooperation will significantly improve Ukrainian military equipment, which will greatly strengthen our combat units."

During the meeting, the parties discussed the possibilities and conditions for locating the maintenance and production of those modules at Ukrainian companies.

Background: European Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius is convinced that Spain will be forced to increase its defence spending to 3% of GDP.
