Ukrainian defense minister meets with and US assistant secretary of state

"Was glad to meet with US Assistant Secretary of State James O'Brien in Kyiv,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said on X.

He briefed O'Brien on the launch of the Agency of Non-Lethal Procurement (State Operator for Non-Lethal Acquisition) as a vital part of the new transparent procurement and acquisition architecture.

"Defense localization is another focus. Key priorities are: ammunition production and new technologies, including drone production. We are ready to co-invest in joint defence factories and procure weapons and military hardware from US companies via direct contracts,” he said.
