Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that he had signed three new defence agreements with Denmark, Estonia and the Netherlands. The deals provide for Ukraine to share its battlefield-tested drone technology and experience with the three countries.

Kyiv is seeking to deepen defence-industry cooperation with NATO allies amid continued Russian missile attacks. According to Zelensky, Ukraine has developed strong expertise in unmanned systems over the course of the conflict.

The agreements align with efforts by European countries to build up their own defence capabilities. The parties are expected to clarify details on joint production and technology transfer in the period ahead.
