Ukraine is interested in strengthening its defense potential with the help of Turkey. This is what Minister of Finance of Ukraine Sergey Marchenko told Anadolu, emphasizing that Kyiv wants to enhance its defense-industry potential through the leading technological developments.

“You know that Ukraine is against Russia’s armed aggression. To win this hybrid war, it is important for Ukraine to enhance the latest technologies,” Marchenko said.

Marchenko highly appreciated Turkey’s achievements in the defense industry and noted that the country has recorded an ‘innovation leap’ over the past decade. He also emphasized that Ukraine is ready to sign foreign policy agreements with Turkey and localize production, adding that the Ukrainian-Turkish cooperation in military industry spreads ‘from land to space’.
