Zelenskiy urges NATO before Hague summit to support Ukraine defence industry
Ahead of the June 24‑25 NATO summit in The Hague, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged allies to allocate at least 0.25% of GDP to support Ukraine’s defence industry and establish joint weapon production deals this summer. (bloomberg.com, theguardian.com)
Insight
Zelenskiy is shifting from requesting aid to building long-term production capacity within NATO. This could strengthen Ukraine’s industrial base and deepen military-industrial integration with its allies.
