Ukraine international defense cooperation

Overview

Ukraine has entered into various international security and defense cooperation agreements to bolster its military capabilities and technological research.

In September 2026, Finland and Ukraine signed a defense agreement at the United Nations headquarters focused on the joint production of drones and other defense equipment. This pact facilitates technology transfer and industrial joint ventures, with Finnish President Alexander Stubb noting that approximately 90 percent of drones manufactured under this cooperation are expected to be sent to Ukraine.

By October 2026, security cooperation expanded to include Israel. Reports indicate that Israel and Ukraine are collaborating on the technical investigation of Russian and Iranian weaponry. This includes the analysis of Russian Geran-family attack drones, which are based on Iranian Shahed technology. The research aims to assist in the development of defense systems against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
