“We discussed areas of technological development in the context of both military operations and civilian needs. We agreed that our teams will stay in touch,” Zelenskyy added.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov reported that the key topic of the talks was expanding the partnership in the field of AI solutions and defense tech projects.
