"We are sharing technology, not just asking for it." President Zelenskyy secures a major drone production deal in Norway before heading to Italy to meet PM Giorgia Meloni. On April 15, 2026, the strategy for the defense of Ukraine shifted gears. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy concluded his visit to Oslo after signing a landmark agreement to produce Ukrainian drones in Norway. This "Drone Deal" marks a transition where Kyiv provides the battlefield "know-how" and technology in exchange for Nordic manufacturing power. Now, Zelenskyy is in Rome to meet Giorgia Meloni. With the U.S. currently distracted by the conflict in Iran, Zelenskyy is urging Italy to join the PURL program and provide the missiles needed to protect Ukrainian skies. We break down the details of the Norway deal, the tension between Meloni and Donald Trump, and what this means for the future of European security.
