The Prime Minister said that the political decision on the deal was made by Zelensky and President Donald Trump, and that officials are already discussing the details.
Ukraine and the United States are holding detailed negotiations on an agreement that would involve US investment in the production of Ukrainian drones , Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said. Reuters reports .
It is noted that this statement was made the day after President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the new government to expand the scale of the Ukrainian military industry and strengthen ties with strategic partners.
Speaking to reporters alongside several other new ministers in Kyiv, Svyrydenko said the deal would also lead to the United States, Ukraine’s largest military sponsor in its war with Russia, purchasing Ukrainian drones.
“We plan to sign an agreement with the United States on drones. We are discussing investments in expanding the production of Ukrainian drones by the United States. That is, we are talking about purchasing a large batch of Ukrainian drones,” she said.
Svyridenko added that the political decision on the deal was made by Zelensky and President Donald Trump, and that officials are already discussing the details.
The Ukrainian government under Svyrydenko is expected to strengthen ties with the Trump administration, which has become increasingly critical of Russia after it stepped up airstrikes in Ukraine.
Economy Minister Oleksiy Sobolev said that the board of the joint US-Ukrainian fund will hold its first meeting by the end of the summer.
Sale of Ukrainian drones to the US
This week, Zelensky told the New York Post that he and Trump were considering a deal in which Washington would purchase combat-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv purchasing weapons from the United States.
He explained that his latest talks with Trump focused on a breakthrough deal that would see U.S. and Ukrainian air technology share. He said Kyiv offered to share everything it had learned about modern warfare during its three-year conflict with Russia.

Do I understand it correctly that Ukraine will start the production of drones for the American Army and they will even pay for it? OMG, I need a drink.
Hard to believe that the US is slowly but surely emerging from its maga coma.
Just waiting for the Pentagon to claim they can produce these $1000 Ukrainian drones for $20,000. 😁

Nope, the country is catching up to MAGA and realizing the deceitful media is still lying to them. Just like the TDS patients Colbert and NPR are gone, the Dems need a good housecleaning. Hopefully MSNBC will be next. Then the Dems 19% approval rate should get better but Trump’s is slowly going down too. Everything would be better with an honest press.
In no way is this country “catching up to maga”. Maga is a cult of barely a third of the population, and it’s dying, thanks to Epstein.
lol…
