Ukraine can help Poland develop anti-drone technology, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said during a visit to Warsaw on Friday, as he and his Polish counterpart Karol Nawrocki stressed the countries’ unity on security matters.<\/p>\n
Poland has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest backers since Russia’s invasion \u200cin 2022, but \u200cwith hostility to refugees rising \u200cin \u2060Poland and \u200cfar-right parties there saying Warsaw has gone too far in supporting Kyiv, relations between the neighbours have become more tense, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n
“Ukraine offers Poland consultations regarding defense from drones,” Zelenskiy told a news conference. “We know how to defend ourselves from every existing type of Russian drone \u2060which can be used against our neighbours, against Poland or \u200cother nations.”<\/p>\n
He said Kyiv could also \u200doffer co-operation in maritime security, \u200dadding that he had invited Nawrocki to \u200dUkraine to see the country’s defense manufacturing capabilities.<\/p>\n
Developing defenses against drones has become a top priority for countries on NATO’s eastern flank since the incursion of some 20 Russian drones into Poland in September and a spate of other drone incidents in countries \u2060including Romania, Denmark and Germany.<\/p>\n
In September, Ukraine’s defense minister Denys Shmyhal said Ukrainian troops and engineers would train their Polish counterparts in a joint group on countering drones.<\/p>\n
Nawrocki said that Zelenskiy’s visit demonstrated the unity between Ukraine and Poland on security matters and added that he believed Warsaw would be able to finalise an exchange of MiG-29 fighter jets for anti-drone technology from Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
