There is a high global demand for Ukrainian defense technologies, which has a significant impact on European innovation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said at a speech at the Hannover Messe on April 20, Ukrinform reported.

"Ukrainian technologies are in demand worldwide as innovative solutions. We must also keep these developments in our sights," Pistorius noted.

"Ukraine's strength lies not only in the professionalism of its military and its ability to hold the defense but also in its high level of technological development," he added.

"Ukraine is achieving impressive success and rapid progress in the development of new defense technologies."

Cooperation with Ukraine helps Germany develop its industrial capacity and technological capabilities, Pistorius stressed.

The minister highlighted the need to strengthen Europe's military-industrial complex as well. The level of security and defense capability directly affects economic development and welfare.

At the same time, Germany must take on more responsibility for Europe's security, given its size, economic strength, and strategic importance, he said.

Ukraine is opening arms exports starting today, 10 Ukrainian export centers will open in Europe this year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on Feb. 8.
