Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world. Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures. What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform: 🔗

Unique footage of the Auchan Operation—a brilliant asymmetric strike where tech and precision planning halted a Russian mechanized offensive for 6 months. This deep-rear operation struck 949 targets in just 3 days, forcing Russia to withdraw heavy armor. Recently, we repeated the operation with a newly developed munition specifically targeting enemy artillery, hitting another 231 targets. Across both phases, 1,180 enemy targets were hit. My sincere thanks to Lasar’s Group of the National Guard of Ukraine, the 412th NEMESIS Unmanned Systems Brigade, and all the other service members who made this operation possible.

Logistics destroyed, capabilities reduced. In June, the Defense Forces hit over 200,000 enemy targets, with a massive focus on supply lines and deep strikes. Thanks to the e-Points system, we are identifying effective tactics and scaling them across the entire front.

The mathematics of war in action. In April, the Army of Drones system reached a new scale: 35k+ enemy losses, outstripping their mobilization for 5 months straight. Deep strikes (20-150km) quadrupled since Feb. From interceptors to UGVs, we’re scaling records in every domain.

March was a historic month for the Army of Drones. 35,300+ enemy casualties and 151,200+ targets hit — a record-breaking performance. For 4 months in a row, russian losses have exceeded their replenishment rates. We are on track to our strategic goal: 50,000+ per month.

Ukrainian drones are now autonomously intercepting Shaheds. A BRAVE1 developer has created a tech that automates 95% of the interception process—from launch to target destruction. The system successfully completed its combat trials in the Kharkiv region. The operator simply selects the target, and the drone autonomously tracks and neutralizes it. It took less than a year to get from prototype to real-world deployment. We are scaling autonomous defense tech to rewrite the rules of modern air defense.

Strengthened our defense tech partnership with Denmark during a meeting with Jeppe Bruus in Kyiv. Key focus: implementing the Drone Deal. Ukraine is ready to share unique battlefield data and innovations in exchange for more frontline assets. This is a true win-win for modern warfare tech. We also discussed developing a joint European anti-ballistic project and unlocking €6B from the European Peace Facility to cover our critical defense needs. Grateful to Denmark for being a agile and reliable ally!

Tightening the logistical lockdown of the Russian army and launching the first open tender for a record procurement of middle-strike drones. In recent months, Ukraine has significantly increased its middle-strike capabilities and initiated a logistical lockdown of the Russian army. Thanks to increased contracting of these drones, the Ukrainian military is systematically destroying Russian logistics, supply depots, command posts, equipment, and other targets. Over the past six months, the number of strikes at the operational depth of the frontline has increased nearly tenfold. This has enabled the launch of a campaign to isolate Crimea and reinforced Ukraine's advantage on the battlefield.

Together with Boris Pistorius visited the frontline regions. Boris is one of the few foreign defense ministers to personally visit our troops so close to the line of combat. This is a testament to true European leadership, and Ukraine deeply appreciates this unwavering support. We visited several military command centers at the front. Our defenders demonstrated the current operational situation, showcasing how they utilize the DELTA system, plan assault operations, neutralize enemy logistics, conduct reconnaissance, and coordinate various drone types within a unified battle management system. It is vital for us to show our partners the raw reality of this war. Our shared objective is to stop Russia in Ukraine. To achieve this, Ukraine and Europe must stand strong together.

The first Ukrainian glide bomb from BRAVE1 is ready for combat deployment. Development took 17 months. The warhead weighs 250 kg. The Ukrainian glide bomb features a unique design created specifically for the realities of modern warfare. Pilots are currently rehearsing combat scenarios and adapting the new weapon system for use in real wartime conditions. Soon, Ukrainian glide bombs will be striking enemy targets.

Honored to welcome Boris Pistorius to Kyiv. Germany is now #1 globally in security aid to Ukraine, providing 1/3 of our total support. From Patriot missiles to $1B+ for Ukrainian drones, this aid is already delivering results: 90% drone interceptions & 5k mid-strikes per month. Excited to launch "Brave Germany" with BRAVE1 — a joint platform for grants & R&D in AI, UAVs, and missiles. We are building a new European security architecture rooted in Ukrainian tech & combat experience.

Key outcomes of the 35th UDCG meeting: partners announced $4B in new aid for Ukraine, strictly focused on frontline capabilities that deliver maximum impact. This package drives resources directly into our core defense priorities. Nearly $1B goes to the PURL mechanism for critical Patriot missiles, plus $200M for the JUMPSTART program. We are also securing $540M for long-range artillery ammunition and over $1B for unmanned systems, funding 150K Ukrainian drones, cruise drone-missiles, and naval UAVs. Thank you to our partners for turning strategic commitments into immediate strength for our soldiers.

For the first time since 2022, Ukraine is steadily seizing the battlefield initiative. The cost of advancement for Russia continues to skyrocket—in May, Ukraine reclaimed more territory than Russia managed to capture. This is a historic moment for our nation to force Russia into peace and end this war from a position of absolute strength. But achieving this requires more than weapons and technology alone. That is why we are building a completely new military service system rooted in human respect, justice, and transparent, clear-cut rules.

Working visit to Norway. The primary mission: scaling military aid and strategic alignment on key priorities—Air Defense, long-range ammunition, and Ukrainian drones. A productive day of high-level talks with Jonas Gahr Støre, Jens Stoltenberg, Tore O. Sandvik, Stortinget, and Norwegian defense industry leaders. Also joined the NORDEFCO session to deepen defense cooperation with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Norway has allocated $300M to the new PURL package, including vital Patriot missiles. Grateful to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський for his leadership and constant dialogue with partners to secure this protection for our skies, civilians, and infrastructure. Also we discussed joint defense projects, anti-Shahed solutions, training AI models on real combat data, and mechanisms for rapid tech scaling. Ukraine ensure every dollar of support delivers a concrete result: a reinforced front and the dismantling of the enemy’s potential.

Russia uses UAVs to terrorize civilian cars and critical logistics near the frontline areas. We are building anti-drone nets, forming a protective dome. The goal is to protect 4,000 kilometers of roads by the end of the year. Watch the video to see how it works.

Conducted a series of high-level meetings in Sweden today with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Defense Minister Pål Jonson, Speaker Sveriges riksdag, and members of Parliament, as well as defense industry leaders from Saab and Ovzon AB. Per Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський’s mandate, the visit’s primary focus was laying the groundwork for Gripen contracts. We also proposed launching BRAVE1 Sweden—a dedicated platform for joint defense tech startups and the exchange of real-time combat experience between Ukraine and Sweden. Sweden stands as a pivotal ally and a global leader in military support. I thanked the Swedish Government, Parliament and people for their continued assistance. Contributions to PURL, Giraffe radars, and RBS missiles are critical in shielding Ukraine’s skies from ballistic threats and drones. It is vital that our allies witness the tangible impact of their support and understand exactly how their decisions shape the dynamics on the battlefield.
