Deputy Minister of Defense Kateryna Chernohorenko said that the use of artificial intelligence tools can change the course of the war.
The deputy minister met with representatives of the Helsing company, which is engaged in the integration of artificial intelligence into defense technologies.
The parties discussed the possibilities of integrating solutions using artificial intelligence into the existing software of the Ukrainian army.
The company proposes to strengthen software solutions to counter the rapid development of the enemy’s electronic warfare equipment. Helsing’s developments will help drones hit targets even when communication is lost.
‘The development of defense technologies has already reached a high level. The use of artificial intelligence tools can change the course of war. The cooperation with companies that are ready to integrate AI solutions is the next step. We thank Helsing for the initiative in this area,’ Ukraine’s deputy minister said.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
