The 3rd EU-Ukraine Defence Industry Forum was held in Kyiv on 13-14 July 2026, marking the first time the event has taken place in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 The participation of senior EU representatives, including High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, and Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, delivered a clear message: EU-Ukraine defence cooperation is progressing towards deeper defence industrial integration, with Ukraine set to become part of the future European defence architecture. The forum provided an excellent opportunity for Patria to meet face-to-face with leading Ukrainian defence technology companies and strengthen mutual cooperation.🤝 Patria representatives pictured: Jouni Wirtavuori, Key Account Director, Europe, and Kari Renko, Executive Vice President, Strategic Programmes. #PatriaGroup #whenifisnotanoption
