NATO to expand defense technology, intelligence sharing with Ukraine

Ukrinform
NATO member countries will soon begin sharing more intelligence with Ukraine.

That's according to NATO Assistant Secretary General David van Weel, Ukrinform reports, citing Bloomberg.

"NATO is planning to expand cooperation with Ukraine on defense technology and share more intelligence about Russia's electronic warfare capabilities, as some of its members lift constraints on Kyiv's ability to wage war," the article reads.

An agreement that introduces new frameworks for sharing information, including on supply chains for drones, will be finalized in time for the NATO summit in Washington in July, according to Van Weel.

One goal of the program is to help make Ukraine a large-scale tech provider once the war ends. NATO also wants to replicate some of the rapid tech adoption and deployment seen in Ukraine since the war started, Van Weel said.

He added that Russia's invasion of Ukraine had pushed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to devote more resources to cybersecurity deterrence and tracking Russia's military tech.
