Ukraine plans to jointly produce engineering equipment with Slovak companies, specifically focusing on demining machines like the Bozena.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
According to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, during intergovernmental consultations between Ukraine and Slovakia, key defense cooperation issues were discussed.
"We expect new defense contracts. Recently, we signed an agreement to increase the production of shells for Ukraine at a facility located in Slovakia," he said.
Umerov also mentioned plans for joint production of engineering equipment with Slovak companies, particularly for demining machines like the "Bozena," with production localized in Ukraine.
"Slovakia is also ready to provide its own engineering equipment for demining, which will speed up the clearing of our territories. Together, we are working on strengthening the security of our borders," the minister added.
