Ukraine has received a positive response from the UK and France regarding the transfer of licenses for the production of Storm Shadow/SCALP long-range missiles. This will allow Ukraine to launch its own production of this type of weapon.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this on August 25 during a meeting with Estonian President Alar Karis in Kyiv.
According to Zelensky, a few days ago he discussed the issue with French President Emmanuel Macron. He confirmed the unblocking of the issue of SCALP and the corresponding license. Ukraine was waiting for a similar decision from London.
“We received a positive response from two countries yesterday,” the head of state said.
Zelensky called this decision an important step and expressed hope that the agreements would not be lost in bureaucratic procedures.
“I believe this is a strong positive and a very strong decision,” the president emphasized.
Separately, the head of state announced the preparation of a schedule of meetings to promote the Freyja anti-ballistic missile project. According to him, within the next 7-10 days, Ukraine should decide on further negotiations, in particular on problematic issues and cooperation with companies from different countries.
Recall, Ukraine received additional missiles for Patriot systems , as well as confirmation of the transfer of several Crotale air defense systems with ammunition and AIM missiles.
