The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, held a meeting with representatives of the multinational company BAE Systems with headquarters in London, which operates in the fields of arms production, security and aerospace, reported the press service of the heads of state.
"We highly appreciate when private companies open their offices in our country at such a time. First of all, this is a very important signal of support for our people, Ukrainian citizens," Zelenskyi said.
According to him, the weapons manufactured by BAE Systems, in particular the L119 and M777 artillery systems, the CV90 BMP, are already actively operating in Ukraine, helping to bring victory closer and receiving extremely favorable reviews from the Ukrainian military.
"Ukraine aspires to be a co-creator of a new effective system of European and global security, which is impossible without a powerful defense-industrial complex," Zelenskyy added.
As a result of the meeting, an agreement on cooperation on the localization of BAE Systems weapons production was signed between the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine and the company.
A Framework Agreement on cooperation on repair, spare parts and production of new L119 light guns was also signed between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and BAE Systems.
