GeopoliticsKyiv is working to sign defense agreements with seven NATO countries to export military hardware and technical expertise. These deals focus on ground stations and radar systems. This represents a transition for Ukraine from receiving aid to acting as a security provider.

Does this create a new technical standard that others will have to follow?
