Finland and Ukraine sign defense deal on drone production and technology sharing

Finland and Ukraine have signed a new defense agreement, which Finnish President Alexander Stubb calls a "drone deal."

The agreement includes cooperation on drone manufacturing to make it cheaper and more efficient. The countries will also share technology and knowledge with each other.

Stubb says, according to Yle, that cooperation between the countries has reached "a new level" and that Ukraine needs all the help it can get in the war against Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for his part, writes on X that "we are always ready to share with our closest friends what has helped us save lives."

In his speech to the General Assembly, Zelenskyy said he was seeking similar cooperation with other partners, citing Canada as an example. Shortly afterwards, he also announced a security agreement with Australia.
