Ukraine has moved from being a consumer of security to becoming a provider of security. Our defence industry capacity grew from €30B in 2024 to €43B today, but only €13B is financed. With the right investment, partners can #BuildWithUkraine and scale production.

Told this to @SchullerKonrad from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Really?

Trump said Russia could have taken Kyiv in four hours if a Russian general hadn’t driven the tanks into a swamp.

Meanwhile, Russian tanks, APCs, and hundreds of other vehicles were advancing along a perfectly paved four-lane “swamp” in the Brovary district.

Really, @CTomczyk ?

Ukraina nie otrzymała jeszcze od Polski samolotów bojowych MiG-29, ponieważ nie została "dopięta" sprawa transferu ukraińskich technologii dronowych - powiedział wiceszef MON Cezary Tomczyk.

Wow!

[Airbus Defence @AirbusDefence]

Airbus Defence and Space and SkyFall have launched a strategic partnership at ILA Berlin - signed in the presence of German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius.

What makes this alliance unique: SkyFall operates and manufactures directly inside an active combat zone. They see LIVE every single day how their systems perform under ultimate real-world pressure.

This allows for an unprecedented level of agile development: feedback from the front line is integrated into software and hardware updates within days, not years. By bridging traditional defense with this ultra-fast, battlefield-driven innovation cycle, we are developing a multi-layered air shield for European and Ukrainian skies - directly supporting the European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI).

Nordic Compass is a good initiative to align Nordics on defense industry.

New russian rocket-drone Geran-5, shown at the parade in moscow today.

Some people mistakenly compare it with Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo — thats only because russians tried to copy it and they look like pretty similar. But that’s where size matters 😎 — russian one has range / payload ~ 10x smaller 🤷‍♂️

russian Geran-5 is somewhere between our Peklo / Palyanytsia rocket-drones.

At the 5th year of the big war russia has nothing to show at the parade but a miserable copy of just one of our Ukrainian rocket-drones 🤦‍♂️

@CaolanReports Thank you for your position, Caolan! ❤️‍🩹

Just to remind you how it started.

putin invaded Ukraine to demilitarize us.

Today Ukrainian defense industry is stronger than ever. Europe is rearming. And US is rearming too — now engaging automotive industry.

putin is a true master strategist 😎

Ukraine🇺🇦 and Germany🇩🇪 are scaling drone co-production.
Presented to @ZelenskyyUa and @Bundeskanzler, the Linza drone is already in co-production under #BuildWithUkraine model.
And today, 6 more agreements were signed to expand joint production of AI-powered interceptors, ISR drones and strike systems.

[Alexander Kamyshin @AKamyshin]

Great story of Ukrainian entrepreneur @YaroslavAzhnyuk and his #DefenseTech companies @thefourthlawai and @SystemsOdd.

Some people call them “housewives.” We call them engineers, leaders, and operators. Our women are 🔥
That’s how we #BuildTheArsenalOfTheFreeWorld.

[Alexander Kamyshin @AKamyshin]

Ukraine doesn’t just build drones. We build capabilities that scale beyond the battlefield. Now used to counter criminal threats, too.

[US Dept of State INL @StateINL]

In Texas, INL led a joint exchange with @DEAHQ and Ukrainian experts to build and test drones and share rapidly evolving drone tactics. This frontline partnership helps U.S. law enforcement stay ahead of cartel and criminal drone use in our hemisphere and protect Americans.

This result was made possible by a joint effort:

Ukrainian GM Andrii Baryshpolets and Danish GM Peter Heine Nielsen,
the legal team at Covington & Burling,
the Ukrainian Chess Federation,
and Minister of Youth and Sports @bidnyi_matvii.

A shared effort, а shared win.

Ukraine has won a landmark legal case in international chess. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that attempts to legitimize russian activities in occupied Ukrainian territories through sport are illegal. Checkmate, this time in court.

[Alexander Kamyshin @AKamyshin]

What’s next? Legal pressure will continue across other federations. In chess and beyond, Ukraine will push for enforcement and accountability.
