Met with the Lviv IT Cluster community.

We talked about the key challenges of the next stage of the war, asymmetric solutions for them, and the role of the Ukrainian IT industry in how Ukraine can gain a technological advantage on the battlefield.

Ukraine is now entering a new technological cycle of war. Russia has learned to deploy new solutions and scale them on the front much faster. So it is not enough to create strong developments — we need to move through the entire cycle faster than the enemy, from testing to battlefield scaling.

Our challenge as a country is to find a way to defeat Russia in the new technological cycle.

The next major transition is from drone warfare to mass robotics, sensorization, and autonomy. This is the next technological leap.

My main message to the IT industry: now is the time to enter these technologies and build new solutions.

Our team has already launched the Army of Robots. The next task is to find strong teams, help them test their solutions faster in real conditions, invest in the best, and scale what works.

Together with the IT industry we must create the next generation of technologies for war — and do it faster than Russia.

⁨Зустрівся зі спільнотою Львівського ІТ Кластеру.

Говорили про ключові виклики наступного етапу війни, асиметричні рішення для них та роль української IT-індустрії в тому, як Україні отримати технологічну перевагу на полі бою.

Зараз Україна входить у новий технологічний цикл війни. росія навчилася значно швидше запускати нові рішення та масштабувати їх на фронті. Тому недостатньо створювати сильні розробки — потрібно швидше за ворога проходити весь цикл — від тестування до масштабування на полі бою.

Наш виклик як країни — знайти шлях перемогти росію в новому технологічному циклі.

Наступний великий перехід — від війни дронів до масової роботизації, сенсоризації та автономності. Це наступний технологічний стрибок.

Мій головний меседж до IT-індустрії: саме зараз треба заходити в ці технології і будувати нові рішення.

Наша команда вже запустила Армію роботів. Наступне завдання — знайти сильні команди, допомогти їм швидше тестувати свої рішення в реальних умовах, інвестувати в найкращі та масштабувати те, що працює.

Разом з IT-індустрією маємо створити наступне покоління технологій для війни — і зробити це швидше за росію.⁩

At the beginning of summer, while still serving as defense minister, I went to Sumy. I wanted to personally look into the air defense problems and find solutions to protect people. A few days earlier the enemy had struck residential buildings with KABs. People died. My team and I went to the site of the tragedy to lay flowers. There, by the destroyed building, I met Yevhen. I still remember the pain in his eyes. Yevhen is a policeman who took part in the Kursk operation. On the day of the traged...

The drone war is a race of technological cycles. The one who reacts faster to changes on the front wins. What works today the enemy may learn to jam, intercept, or destroy tomorrow. That’s why our bet is on speed. We adapt developments to the real requests of brigades and scale up serial production. I recently visited the production facilities of a group of Ukrainian defense tech companies that manufacture drones, ground robots, and other means for the front. I saw the whole cycle — from prepari...

I am confident that universities must become the heart of military technology development in Ukraine I recently met with students of the Ukrainian Catholic University. Many of them are already working on robotics, creating prototypes and their own products. Ukraine has become one of the world’s centers for drone production. The next major stage is total robotization. We have already launched the Army of Robots project and will actively move toward fully replacing people with robots on the most d...

The new interceptor is already shooting down jet Shaheds. First combat results in Kyiv — two Geran-5 shot down. Together with Pavlo Yelizarov, military personnel, and engineers we created a new drone interceptor. From the start of development to the first confirmed shootdowns — only a month. Combat trials were conducted by crews of Lasar’s Group. In a few days the military shot down two Russian jet drones Geran-5 that were flying to Kyiv. The video shows the first confirmed shootdowns by the new...
