The head of state thanked all the workers of American defense companies that produce weapons that save Ukrainians and help our army defend the country.
During his visit to the United States, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky met with the heads of American defense companies. The Office of the President wrote this on Tuesday, December 12.
The head of state thanked all employees of American defense companies that produce weapons for their contribution to the defense of Ukraine.
“I want to thank all of you, as well as your partners. In addition, I want to say something important to your employees: you have done a lot for Ukraine. Without people like you, we would not be able to cope and our land will be protected,” said the president.
Zelensky proposed the creation of a defense hub in Europe. According to him, such a hub should be located on the territory of Ukraine, because our country now has a lot of practical experience gained as a result of the war.
He also mentioned that in order to implement this idea, our state is ready to make all necessary decisions very quickly, simplify bureaucratic procedures, and also place orders.
The President said that Ukraine also wants to invite American partners to take part in Ukrainian defense companies, which will be in the interest of all parties.
The meeting, held at the Ukraine House in Washington, was attended by BAE Systems President Tom Arsenault, Day & Zimmermann Chairman and CEO Harold Yoch, Boeing President Theodore Colbert, Sierra Nevada CEO Fatih Ozmen, Northrop Grumman Vice President Stephen O’Brien, RTX Jeff Shockley, Lockheed Martin Vice President Raymond Piselli, General Dynamics Vice President Mark Ruale, D&M Holding CEO Daniel Powers, AeroVironment Vice President Charles Dean.
Earlier it became known that the United States cannot provide Ukraine with new weapons unless Congress appropriates funds for such supplies.
