Kicked off an international working trip with our team, focused on advancing our new initiatives in digitalization and defense tech. First stop — a meeting with Italian Minister of Defense @GuidoCrosetto. I expressed my gratitude to Guido for his personal support and for the offer to serve as his Advisor on Defense Innovations. I am deeply thankful for this trust and strategic partnership. In this role, I will assist Italy in adopting modern warfare technologies, enhancing its defense sector, and adapting to emerging global security challenges. Ukraine and our team possess unique, real-world experience in high-tech warfare that we are eager to share with our allies. At the same time, my primary focus remains unchanged: I continue my work in Ukraine on core projects that strengthen our defense and help attract international resources. During our meeting, we discussed drones, autonomous systems, air defense, and building out the defense tech ecosystem. The future of defense belongs to nations that can rapidly test and scale new solutions by pairing cutting-edge technology with robust manufacturing. Ukraine’s experience can serve as the foundation for Europe’s new defense model. Our international trip continues. Ahead are key meetings with partners regarding digitalization, defense tech, and launching new collaborative projects.
