Ukraine defence deals with Gulf states envisage '10-year cooperation', joint manufacturing: Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that deals he signed with Gulf nations during a tour in the region envisaged a decade-long cooperation on defence, including on establishing joint production lines.

"We are talking about a 10-year cooperation. We have already signed a relevant agreement with Saudi Arabia, we have just signed a similar agreement with Qatar, also for 10 years we will sign one with the Emirates," Zelensky told reporters, including from AFP, at a briefing.

"Over these 10 years, we will be engaged in co-production, building plants in both countries – production lines in Ukraine as well as in these countries," he added.
