Together with the team, we began an international trip dedicated to developing our new projects in the field of digitalization and defense tech.
The first meeting was with Italy’s Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto.
I thanked Guido for his personal support and for offering me the role of his advisor on defense innovations. I am grateful for the trust and the strategic partnership. In this role I will help Italy develop technologies for modern warfare, improve the defense sector, and adapt to the world’s new security challenges.
Ukraine and our team have unique experience of technological warfare that we are ready to share with partners. At the same time, my main focus remains unchanged — I continue to work in Ukraine on projects that strengthen our defense and help attract international resources.
During the meeting we discussed drones, autonomous systems, air defense, and the development of a defense-tech ecosystem.
The future of defense belongs to countries that can quickly test and scale new solutions by combining technology with strong manufacturing. Ukraine’s experience can become the foundation of a new model of defense for Europe.
We continue the international trip. Ahead are meetings with partners on digitalization, defense technologies, and the development of new projects.
