He said Kyiv is sharing battlefield-tested drone technology and operational experience with American partners as part of what he called a mutually beneficial partnership.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement builds on Ukraine&#8217;s rapidly expanding drone program, which Zelenskyy has cited in recent weeks as one of the country&#8217;s fastest-growing military-industrial sectors. He has previously said Ukraine already fields drones with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers and is developing models capable of reaching 4,000 kilometers, with longer-range systems in the pipeline. <\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The push for a joint U.S.-Ukraine production facility follows a series of statements by Zelenskyy framing Ukraine&#8217;s drone expertise as a strategic asset it can offer allies, rather than aid it merely receives \u2014 an argument he has increasingly used in outreach to U.S. officials and audiences as Kyiv seeks to secure continued American backing.<\/p>\n   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/a-truce-tomorrow-would-be-better-than-fighting-10-20-years-for-victory-zelenskyy\/\">A Truce Tomorrow Would Be Better Than Fighting 10-20 Years for Victory \u2014 Zelenskyy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a Russia that reverts to a Soviet-style &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1414733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36415,53,36422,54,55,50],"tags":[76,78,72924,72926,72945],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1414729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en","category-russia-en","category-11473-news-en-3","category-usa-en","category-ukraine-en","category-svit-en","tag-glavnoe-en","tag-homepage-en","tag-russian-airstrikes-on-ukraine","tag-ukraine-s-allies-aid","tag-ukraine-strikes-back"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
