Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims he is working on a “mega-deal” that would allow his country to swap its cutting-edge drones for weaponry from the United States.
Zelensky revealed the negotiations with the White House in an interview published Thursday, explaining that the U.S. would reap the benefits of Ukrainian advances in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) while his own country would receive vital armaments.
“The people of America need this technology, and you need to have it in your arsenal,” Zelensky said. “I think this is really a mega deal, a win-win, as they say.”
Ukraine has pushed the limits of drone technology in its three-year defensive war against invading Russian forces.
UAVs operated by the Ukrainian military have struck targets more than 800 miles deep into Russian territory and strategists have devised clandestine strategies to smuggle drones into otherwise untouchable areas.
“We will be ready to share this experience with America and other European partners,” Zelensky told the New York Post.
