That\u2019s for those frontier countries, and we need to make that Drone Wall together with Ukraine, and to include Ukraine into that project,&#8221; Kubilius said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, the recent incident involving Russian drones entering Polish airspace showed that European countries&#8217; capabilities to defend against such attacks \u201cneed to be built up very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat is why we shall cooperate together with Ukraine in developing that very important project,\u201d the European Commissioner stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his opinion, the EU needs to learn from Ukraine not only how to manufacture specific types of drones, but also \u201chow to create an entire ecosystem around them in order to use these drones most effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.ua\/tag-kubilus\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kubilius<\/a>&nbsp;noted the reforms in the Ukrainian defense procurement system, which allows defense and security forces to order drones directly and purchase them fairly quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn Europe, if the government decides to procure drones, it can take two years. So, definitely, in the circumstances that you\u2019re facing as you are defending yourself, that would be totally unacceptable,\u201d the European Commissioner said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, Kubilius drew attention to the Brave Tech EU joint platform launched this summer, which will be used by European and Ukrainian startups to unite to develop new projects, test their weapons on the front lines, and enable Europeans to study the ecosystem created in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of September 10, the Polish&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.ua\/rubric-world\/4035756-u-polsi-povidomili-so-ii-povitranij-prostir-porusiv-21-rosijskij-dron-a-ne-17.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">military shot down drones that violated Polish airspace<\/a>.
