There are three agreements with Belgium on joint arms production. We are signing documents – Zelenskyy
Today, Bart De Wever made his first visit to Ukraine since his appointment as Belgian Prime Minister.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the visit on his Telegram channel, as reported by Censor.NET.
"First and foremost, I thank Belgium for the new defense package for Ukraine. One billion euros is a significant contribution and will genuinely help protect lives."
Zelenskyy noted that today, together with Prime Minister De Wever, representatives of ten Belgian defense companies are in Ukraine. The sides discussed joint weapons production and investments in manufacturing on Ukrainian territory — an initiative that will benefit the whole of Europe."Today, we have three agreements with Belgian defense manufacturers. We are signing the documents," Zelenskyy said.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine's defense potential today represents the collective capability of Europe to deter any hostile actions against the continent.
"Belgium has been consistently supporting us since the first days of the full-scale invasion, through defense, political, and humanitarian assistance, including support for Ukrainians living in Belgium. But most importantly, the foundation of our cooperation is a shared sense of justice — justice in our defense and the injustice of Russian aggression. I thank the entire Belgian nation," he concluded.
Earlier reports noted that the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, and the Minister of Defense of Belgium had arrived in Kyiv.
