The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Rustem Umyerov, had a telephone conversation with the Minister of Defense of Portugal, Nunu Melu, during which they discussed the prospects for deepening cooperation in the field of defense and security. The head of the defense department wrote about this on his Facebook page.
