## Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States and Ukraine are advancing plans for joint drone production, including a factory in the US using Ukrainian technology. The proposed partnership could deepen defence-industrial ties as Ukraine seeks to turn its battlefield drone expertise into a longer-term strategic asset.

Zelenskyy said Ukrainian drones can now operate over 3,000km, with further range improvements possible. Details remain under discussion ahead of his planned talks with President Donald Trump; Reuters reported that six Ukrainian firms had been authorised to export about 100 drones each to the US for the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance programme.
