Ukraine hopes for arms production cooperation with the US

Andriy Yermak, Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine, said on November 10 that he hopes a conference on arms production cooperation between Ukraine and the United States will be held in December in the United States, Kyiv's most important military aid provider.

"There was a very important agreement between (Ukrainian) President Volodymyr) Zelensky and (US) President Joe Biden... I hope that next month a conference will be held to discuss joint production (of weapons) between Ukraine and the US," Yermak said on the Moseychuk+ program of the 1+1 TV channel in Ukraine.

Ukraine is prioritizing its own defense production capacity amid concerns that supplies from the West could dwindle. It also hopes that joint ventures with international arms manufacturers can help revive its domestic defense industry, which was plagued by inefficiency and lack of transparency in the years before the conflict.

EU has 'plan B' if Hungary blocks aid to Ukraine

The European Union (EU) can still go ahead with 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine, even if Hungary uses its veto to block the effort, according to EU officials, Reuters reported.

The European Commission has proposed expanding budget support to help Ukraine pay salaries and meet other costs as the conflict continues, and the 27 EU member states will vote on the aid package at a December 14-15 summit in Brussels.

However, some fear the aid could be blocked by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Such spending from the EU's common budget requires the support of all member states.
