Elon Musk is prorably the most important tech person and entrepreneur in the world for our country. By shutting down Russia’s illegal use of Starlink on Ukrainian territory, Elon Musk and SpaceX protected our air defense, saved our air force, and spared thousands of civilian lives. This is an invaluable contribution to our defense, and every Ukrainian is deeply grateful to him for it. Catch the full story in my interview with CBS News.

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: 🔗

Russia is shifting to jet-powered Shaheds, so we must act fast. For the past year, our team has worked with developers on interceptor drones. I recently visited a facility whose drone can reach speeds of more than 600 km/h. It is already undergoing combat testing, and we await the first confirmed intercepts. Investing in R&D, testing and scaling up production is vital. Protecting our skies remains a priority.

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.

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.

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.

We transformed Ukraine into a global tech leader and a defense powerhouse. Beyond digital IDs, Diia.Cіty, and 5G, we revolutionized warfare. Through the Army of Drones and the BRAVE1 cluster, we achieved a logistical lockdown for the occupiers, reached a 91% Shahed interception rate, and launched the unique e-Points system to incentivize our troops on the frontlines. 7 years of service. From GovTech to Defense Tech. Thank you for your trust!

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.

Boosting F-16 pilot training: Ukraine has received rare mobile simulators to prepare our crews without needing actual jets. These specialized units allow pilots to practice complex combat scenarios, enhancing our ability to shoot down Russian missiles and save lives. This new delivery expands our training capacity, ensuring quality training at high intensity. We continue to build our Air Force according to NATO standards. Grateful to the Air Force Capability Coalition, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Austria, and the developers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
