During his visit to Ukraine, Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was shown the process of manufacturing drones for the Army of Drones national program.

"The amazing Ukrainian Army of Drones is helping defend the country. I am a big fan of the creative talent and inventiveness of Ukrainians," EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarína Mathernová said.

Mathernová attached photos with Borrell from the site where the drones for the Army of Drones are manufactured.

"It was truly amazing to witness with Josep Borrell the production of these drones," she added.
