Ukraine and Japan have strengthened their cooperation within the IT coalition, as reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on 9 September. Deputy Defense Minister of Ukraine Kateryna Chernohorenko met with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine, Matsuda Kuninori, and his team in Kyiv to discuss further collaboration on implementing projects within the coalition.
During the meeting, Chernohorenko briefed the Japanese delegation on the digital transformation of the Ukrainian military. She highlighted top projects such as Reserve+, Army+, the Drone Coalition, and the DELTA combat system, which recently passed NATO standards verification.
