The European Union and its Member States are showing a genuine interest in Ukraine’s military industrial complex because it combines innovation, efficiency, and battlefield-proven capabilities. In the period 2024–2025 the EU made several significant strategic decisions regarding military and technical support for Ukraine, as well as the strengthening of its own defence capabilities. If implemented, these decisions could boost European–Ukrainian defence cooperation, which is currently crucial for both parties, particularly in the light of the United States’ unpredictable stance. However, to achieve this, both Brussels and Kyiv must focus on implementing the planned steps promptly and unwaveringly with long-term priorities in mind. The main areas of cooperation are the development of uninhabited platforms, air and missile defence, artillery and ammunition, as well as deep strikes capabilities. It is also important to take a creative approach to tools that can enhance collaboration.
