Right now, we are eagerly anticipating that the next package of European sanctions will take effect—the 21st package already. We have done a great deal to integrate our defense capabilities and production with Europe's.Today, there is also the first document forming the basis of the Drone Deal—a major defense agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. This is truly a historic step in our relations. And going forward, we expect financial support from the EU for our anti-ballistic program.We discussed today what we need to do together with the European Union to prepare for winter: energy remains an unwavering priority.Thank you, Ursula!
