Excellent piece by @KSheives & @AShevch: “Unimaginable when the war started, Ukraine has become a global innovator in drone technology, withstood the Kremlin’s relentless propaganda campaigns, and endured as a democratic society against Russia’s authoritarian aggression.

[EXCLUSIVE] 🇩🇪🇺🇦A German AI-enabled drone is now flying combat missions over Ukraine. But on the morning Army Media visited its operators, the HX-2 wasn’t going anywhere. The fog was so dense that visibility dropped below 100 metres. The crew of Ukraine’s 59th Separate Assault Brigade waited underground, watching reconnaissance feeds and searching for Russian targets. When the sky is clear, the routine begin. Check the controls. Inspect the propellers. Clean the camera. Run the pre-flight procedure. Launch. On busy days, the team prepares and flies five or six HX-2s almost nonstop, striking Russian artillery, tanks and self-propelled guns to support Ukrainian infantry. The German-made system developed by Helsing carries a 2.5 kg warhead and can reach targets roughly 60–70 kilometres away. Its AI assists with target identification and terminal guidance—but the human operator remains central. “The navigator has to find the target, see it and lock onto it. After that, the AI takes over,” one operator explains. That distinction matters. This isn’t a machine independently deciding whom to attack. It is technology helping Ukrainian soldiers reach military targets more accurately, from farther away, while reducing the risks faced by their own troops. Yet perhaps the most human moment in the video has nothing to do with specifications. One operator recalls losing control of a drone while the video feed remained active. The failsafe system carried it above the clouds. For a moment, in the middle of a combat mission, all he could see was the sky. “You look at all that beauty and think: damn, it really is beautiful.” German engineering. Ukrainian battlefield experience. And soldiers adapting both to a war that changes almost every day. 👇The full video—with English and German voiceovers—is linked in the comments.

Ukrainian civil society has become an “iron shield” — a powerful force for national defense in the face of war. The Forum hosted Ambassador @AShevch's Reagan-Fascell Fellowship presentation at @NEDemocracy, where he discussed how Ukraine’s civil society resilience provides a path to sustain democratic strength and deterrence in the face of authoritarian adversaries.

🤝 Met with Paul Grod (@PaulMGrod), President of the Ukrainian World Congress (@UWCongress), and Andriy Shevchenko (@AShevch) Head of the UWC Mission to Ukraine. We discussed coordination with Ukrainian communities abroad, support for national identity, and diaspora engagement in projects for Ukraine. Special focus was given to multiple citizenship — we’re now working with UWC and the Ukrainian Parliament’s relevant committee on the draft law for its second reading. I’m grateful for the UWC team’s strong leadership, clear vision, and tireless support. Excited for upcoming joint initiatives and deeper synergy in the name of national unity. 🇺🇦

International cooperation and global solidarity with Ukraine are crucial in our fight for freedom. Today, I welcomed diplomats from over 30 countries who arrived to serve in Ukraine. During an orientation session at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, I emphasized the importance of strengthening economic, cultural, and political ties. Ukraine is open to partnerships and values the support of international allies. Grateful to all diplomats for their work — our intergovernmental dialogue will only grow stronger! @AShevch @UWCongress @VolodymyrBugrov
