KYIV, Feb 23 – Ukraine’s state defense group Ukroboronprom will join efforts to develop the Hyperloop high-speed transportation system, the group reported on Thursday.

The comment comes days after the Infrastructure Ministry has suggested that Ukraine may become one of the first countries to build the Hyperloop link.

Ukroboronprom, which has more than 30 research and development centers, will contribute resources to design and implement the project, Pavlo Bukin, the head of Ukroboronprom, said.
