Ukraine is not losing, Russia is not winning: A turning point in warfare technology, writes Anne Applebaum | Postimees | EE

A van parked in a field near Kyiv appears ordinary from a distance. However, its cramped interior is part of a system that could transform not only the war in Ukraine but also the future of warfare. Drones, artificial intelligence, and a technology network created by entrepreneurs are quietly reshaping the balance of power.

Ukraine has managed to alter international understanding of the war's progress despite Russian propaganda. This shift is partly due to its embrace of new technologies on the battlefield. The country is no longer seen by world leaders solely as a victim but as a partner in developing and deploying cutting-edge military technology.

The integration of advanced technology, particularly drones and AI, is proving crucial. This is not just about defense but also about innovation that could define future conflicts. Ukraine's ability to leverage these advancements is crucial to its ongoing struggle and its positioning on the global stage as a hub for military innovation.
