Meloni Says Italy Is Interested in Making Drones With Ukraine

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said Italy wants to explore joint drone production with Ukraine, after the Iran war gave President Volodymyr Zelenskiy an opportunity to demonstrate his country’s know-how to other nations.

“We talked today about how to strengthen our defense co-operation,” Meloni told reporters in Palazzo Chigi after talks with Zelenskiy in Rome on Wednesday. “Italy in particular is very interested in developing a joint drone production, a sector in which Ukraine has become a leader in these years.”
