The agreement was signed in Kiev, Ukraine, in hopes of increasing material support for beleaguered and outnumbered Ukrainian soldiers.
According to Defense Secretary Andy Sturt, the new arrangement will not only support Ukraine’s war effort. But it would also help reduce Ukraine’s dependence on foreign defense production.
