Yermak: Ukraine should join drone wall project, EU talks next week

Ukraine should participate in the creation of a “drone wall” along the eastern border to protect against Russian attacks.

Andrii Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said this on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

He noted that negotiations on the drone wall will take place in the EU next week, and Ukraine is expected to join the project.

“We are the only country in Europe currently waging a modern war against Russia. Since World War II and the Cold War, the principles of combat have changed, and in recent years drones have played a key role,” Yermak said, emphasizing that this is why armies need to adapt and invest in AI-equipped UAVs, both for attack and air defense.
