🇺🇸🇺🇦 CBS: The U.S. and Ukraine are moving toward a landmark drone defence agreement that would allow Ukrainian unmanned systems to be tested and potentially co-produced for the US military.

The draft memorandum reportedly follows growing American concern over the effectiveness and cost of countering Iranian drones during the ongoing regional conflict, with Ukrainian technology and battlefield experience increasingly viewed as valuable by Pentagon officials.

The report said the agreement could mark a major shift in US-Ukraine defence cooperation, as Kyiv transitions from primarily receiving military aid to exporting drone expertise and systems developed during the war with Russia.

🇫🇷🇰🇪 French President Emmanuel Macron in Nairobi:
Whoever ignores Africa today is mistaken and is giving up on their own future. Africa is here, present, and strong.

All those who do not work with the African continent, all those who continue to take resources from it to value them elsewhere, and all those who neglect them in situations of imbalance or distress—all of this simply hinders their own future.
