Share this article

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia Andrej Plenković held negotiations in Dubrovnik in various formats: one-on-one and as part of delegations.

Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Croatia for its support of Ukraine and personally thanked Andrej Plenković for the leadership in providing defense assistance. Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Croatia has already provided 11 military aid packages.

During the meeting, the parties discussed in detail how to expedite the delivery of the announced aid packages and the preparation and contents of the next ones.

 

 

A separate focus of the conversation was cooperation in the defense sector. Among other things, the parties discussed the contribution to the domestic production of drones.

Other topics of discussion included humanitarian demining and the localization of enterprises in Ukraine. Croatia provides financial support and shares its expertise.

Special attention was paid to the rehabilitation of Ukrainian children and wounded soldiers, European integration and speeding up the negotiation process, as well as Ukraine's recovery.

Andrej Plenković highlighted Ukraine’s resilience, especially how, despite constant Russian attacks, the country is restoring facilities destroyed by Russian aggression.
