Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has urged Kyiv’s allies to help finance a massive expansion of the country’s drone production, saying Ukraine could manufacture up to 20 million drones next year if sufficient funding is secured. He described the modern arms race as one centered on drones rather than nuclear weapons, emphasizing that production scale will determine the path to peace. Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced efforts to restart prisoner exchanges with Russia that could free 1,200 Ukrainians, with talks mediated by Turkey and the UAE. On the economic front, Ukraine signed an agreement with Greece to import U.S.-supplied liquefied natural gas, bolstering energy security ahead of winter. The deal, lasting until March 2026, is part of a broader European effort to strengthen regional energy cooperation. Finnish President Alexander Stubb cautioned that a ceasefire remains unlikely before spring 2026, urging Western leaders to intensify pressure on Moscow and expand support for Kyiv.
