Sergiy Boyev holds talks in Lithuania on expanding cooperation in the defence industry

A delegation of representatives from Ukrainian defence enterprises, led by Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Sergiy Boyev, held talks with the Lithuanian side on implementing joint defence industry projects.

Following a working visit to Romania, the Ukrainian delegation, led by Sergiy Boyev, arrived in Lithuania, where they met with Vice-Minister of National Defence Tomas Godeliauskas. The talks were also attended by the leadership of UkrOboronProm and representatives of other enterprises of Ukraine’s defence industry.

The Ukrainian delegation’s visit aimed to evaluate the potential of Lithuanian companies to identify partners for the joint production of Ukrainian armaments and for initiatives under the SAFE mechanism.

“Ukrainian and Lithuanian companies have been cooperating for a long time, and we seek to enhance this partnership. Our shared efforts are vital to regional security,” said Sergiy Boyev.

The Ukrainian delegation visited Lithuanian enterprises that are already engaged in cooperation with Ukraine’s defence industry. During the visit, members of the delegation assessed production capacities, technological solutions, and industrial potential to promote closer collaboration and develop manufacturing in Lithuania.

The Lithuanian side expressed willingness to localise the development and production of drone technologies within the country, adopt the advanced experience of Ukraine’s defence industry, and apply it to strengthen national security and the capabilities of its defence sector.
